Man, I love that guy's tone and playing. My VF can sound just like that, but I certainly can't.

GREAT playing. That MBClassic300 REALLY sounds good... really warm but still articulate and punchy. Wow. The bass sounds great too, like a good J bass favoring the bridge pickup and digging in at the bridge. Nice.
At least on my speakers I heard way more of the original bass track than the F Bass. The playing appeared to be good though.
Good question.
The first time I played my BN5, I had huge flashbacks to my 77 Jazz bass. The neck REALLY felt like it.
Like Puff, I'm fond of the narrow spacing at the nut. It feels like it offsets to some degree the wide spacing of the frets back there.
Interesting. This looks like a fretted bass, doesn't it? Blended with Jacos in this clip though, it doesn't sound like it.
BTW, when you said here is another from "him," I thought you were talking about the slap player of Snarky Puppy with the BN5.
This is Edmond with a VF5 alder and rosewood.
Oh no I posted a different video of the VF5 guy the other day. Then
someone posted a video of the BN5 guy after me. Sorry about the mix
up.
Yeah, I thought that too so I plugged in my Bose headphones... and realized I was mistaken. That's Edmond's bass dominating the mix there, it just sounds so much like Jaco and he plays it so in sync with him.
Right at 3:45 when Edmond strays from the original bass a bit for a few seconds is when you can really tell.
He he, not a problem. It's not like I was disappointed, I just thought I'd mention it for everyone so we can keep the conversation clear too.
Hi all,
Was wondering if any of you could share your experience if you play a BN5 with Rosewood fingerboard. What is the difference for you compared to a Maple fret board BN5. I realised that this topic has been discussed over n over again but I would like to know what are your experience instead of the specific tone difference which George has told a million if not a billion times to us.. haha
Thanks a million!

Sorry, but I don't have any experience with a rosewood fingerboard on a BN5.
Perhaps just a little more helpfully, I have played quite a few, and IMO everything George says about this is absolutely bang on.
Personally, my favourite BN5s all have rosewood fingerboards.
Damn! I would love to play this song...
BTW great gear, great playing!
I'd better to delete my TB account and go back practicing!
Er... do you really mean rosewood or macassar ebony?
I assume the latter, in fact I wrote my reply very very late at night and got a little confused myself
I was talking about macassar ebony, so apologies if I shot off on the wrong track.

Macassar ebony is harder, so it will be brighter sounding than maple. That's the general consensus, and I think it holds true in this case.

Hi all,
just curious, my BN6 is thé most incredible bass i ever played on ... however, there is just one little issue i'd like to see different, the stringspacing.
Is there anybody who can tell me if F-bass has an option for replacing the bridge or maybe just the saddles, in order to narrow down the stringspacing to 17 mm?
And of course if possible ... what shall it cost?
Thanks!
Harry.
