Basses with f-holes

[EpicSoundtracks]

I'll also add the Gibson EB2, Gretsch Broadkaster, Daisy Rock (I forget the model), The Schecter Baron H, and the infamous Ampeg AEB (Eastwood makes a knockoff of this that's much better than the original).

good call!

alright...ive fallen in love with the look of f holes....i want a bass with a head with 2 on one side and 2 on the other, but not a big body like the les paul guitar, but not a body like a fender...i dont like the bog body look...and im tired of the fender look....i want a fresh look....im thinking of a bass that looks jazzy.....anybody know what im talking about?

Here's a repeat of a good suggestion if you're on a tight budget...Ibanez Artcore AGB140
f-holes, 2+2 headstock, thin body, arch top, jazz looking, well built and CHEAP!
Keep you're eye on ebay and snag one of these for about $350.
I just got one and I'm having fun with it.
Thanks for giving me a reason to take some pics!

Thanks for the pix, Chad.
Was sitting here just randomly reading threads and now I have G. A. S. Was I looking for it? No.

What a beautiful instrument!

Beautiful bass... How about the tone? Looking to your pics I see that the bridge seems to have no height or entonation adjustments. Is it a problem for this bass?

Both are 2+2 headstocks. Not cheap but worth it. Incredible basses.

Are you kidding? The Artcores have a great bridge, lots of adjustment.

I never played a artcore or take one in my hands to look to bridge details. Which are the adjustments? Height and intonation for each string?

i've got a green fretless one of these. got a f hole, and piezo power bridge. picked it up for 400ish on ebay. never seen another and its got a very distinct sound.

I highly doubt you'll find a bass with 2 f-holes on each side. In fact, I can't think of any that do. There's lots of basses with one f-hole on each side though, as people have shown. The Ibanez Artcores are very nice looking and are relatively inexpensive.

Looks like a modded Guild Starfire to me.

Artcore bridge adjustments are as found on a Rickenbacker. Left and right bridge height, and individual string intonation. It's very solid feeling and the tailpiece is quick-change so you dont have to pull the entire string thru to change it.
