Club Fbass (Part 11!)

[TolerancEJ]

Ok, I want to play too... When, not if, I am drawn for the Dream Bass, I would love the following VF6... It's cool & not too fancy. Although I may want to request 24 frets. The thing is, I don't think it would come to $7K, so maybe I'd save F Bass some money if they drew my name... lol

Edit: Oh, I know! With the difference between $7,000 and the cost of this bass... With the remaining funds, they can fly Alain Caron to my city to give me a series of private master classes.

Just saw this on the Fbass site... my Dream F Bass would cost much more $7,000, but that would be a good start!

As I understood if I buy new or used Fbass this year, I may win another one?

Oleg....If you purchase any used, new or custom bass between Jan 01/2013 and paid in full before October 31/2013 ...your name will be entered into a draw to win $7000 towards your next FBass purchase.
See Fbass for futher details

I missed the note where it included used instruments.

I would go for something unique which I think FBass never built. A hybrid P + MM pickups in a VF5 package. If I am not mistaken they did something similiar for Fretspot years ago but with J + MM configuration. And for the color I would have to check with them for a aged-distressed look to be created.

I'd like 6-string Fbass with amazing top! The main function is it MUST play itself anything I want. So I could just have a rest and spend the concerts with a pleasure

Excellent!

I have a question on preferences. I like the Trans Blue NPF finish. Would chrome or black hardware look best? I've seen pics & they both look equally great.

Black on solid color BN5's.

Can you post photos here for us to compare?

They both look great. I'm assuming the finishes are the same. The first picture seems to have more light focused on it.

As for me I like Black Hardware more.

Close call, but I think I like black a bit more... I think.

 

[Tom7]

Is gold an option?

Satin=Black
High Gloss= Black or Gold...

Looking again, I prefer the chrome over the black... but I think it is interesting to have black with an ebony finger board, and chrome with the maple.

I want a maple fingerboard.

I keep looking back...its a tough call...I went black with mine...but Im with a Madagascar RW Fb...either way its about the sound and playability...Good luck...Cant go wrong either way!!!
what I really like the look of is the: mineral streaked Maple boards...very cool!!!

 

[TolerancEJ]

Hmm, just realized something while going through the Build A Bass feature on the F Bass website. Chrome is the standard hardware offered. Black or Gold hardware are $85 upgrades. Since I'm probably gonna be scraping by, with what is already included, I guess Chrome will be my hardware.

Get black. I did on my satin redburst vf and it looks incredible. IMO black hardware should be standard. Chrome never looks as good to me. OH yeah I too am currently scheming to get another FBass.
