Club Fbass (Part 10!)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey all! I'm selling my first F-Bass (BNF5) over on classifieds if anyone's interested or knows anyone. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-f-bass-bnf-5-string-fretless-884229

This doesn't mean I'm out of the club, however… I just received my BN6 from George a few days ago, and I'm purchasing a mint-condition used AC6 on Tuesday (hence why I'm selling the BNF5).

Pics to come soon :)
This is without a doubt the BEST for sale ad I have ever seen in Talkbass classifieds. It is just so smart! It looks like the sale through the eyes of potential buyers and focuses on what they would be interested in, instead of the typical seller's "I'm selling this because I want..." schtick.

BTW, http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-f-bass-bnf-5-string-fretless-884229 you posted links to as well. Great band.
 
... I can live with that, if I even get there... I'll beat it up first then get her redone, LOL.
There you go! To emphasize, it looks fine to me, but I'm pretty sure you didn't buy the bass to please me -- or anyone else here. First and foremost YOU need to be happy with it, whether that involves changing the bass, changing your perspective, or both in their own time. :D

BTW, Invalid Link Removed you posted links to as well. Great band.

Thanks very much! It's a super fun band to be in… I'm really privileged to be able to play with my bandmates.

On the Amp topic - I have owned nearly everything out there and have settled on Genz Benz and most importantly their Uber Quad cab's, full range and very monitor like sound with no coloration what so ever. With two of the Uber Quads under a Shuttle Max 9.2 my F-Bass is about as articulate and open sounding than anything I have ever heard.

Ended up getting a Genz Benz Uber 2x12 and Shuttle Max 9.2 from a local dealer at a great price new. Sounds super good using a Smith 5 and a Fender American Deluxe 5 string. Can't wait to hear it with my new BN6 No Pore Filler!

This Video by Ed Friedland really shows this combo off!

That was an excellent video. I feel like I know more about that rig now than I do my own. Okay, maybe not, but that was really well done, and it sounds great.
 
Just received another picture of my build that I posted earlier thanks to Donovan and fretspot.com. Shouts out to him because he's been really great to deal with even after I changed my mind a bunch of times he's always showed me great customer service without making me feel like I was bugging him. Not to mention he gave me a fare trade price for my bass. Thanks Donovan! Enjoy the pic guys! Looking forward to playing her. The body looks about finished already, I'm hoping to get it faster than the 3 months I was quoted.
