Club Fbass (Part 4)

That's funny, I never noticed that, thanks! It's a '96 BN5. It doesn't have the same preamp as the current models, just volume-baland-low-mid-high and an active passive switch. I couldn't care less though, this thing sounds amazing! Like a Jazz bass, but better, fatter. The mids and growl are great, Jaco would have been proud. ;) Best bass I have ever owned, this thing easily smokes all of my previous basses (including Warwick, Pedulla and high end Yamaha's).

The neck of BN5's must be the most comfortable 5string neck I have ever come across, and I love the flamed maple they used on my bass.

She's definitely a keeper. ;)

Here's a taste of what I have coming

Thanks! It's a custom order VF4. Alder body, rosewood board, 60's spacing, Fiesta Red in nitro cellulose, clay dot. I have a mint '64 Fender bridge that will be going on it. Right now I'm still deciding on a white or tortoise pickguard, probably white.

I also have a 34" AC4, I'll post pics later.

WOW! Alder and rosewood, 60s spacing, nitro cellulose and a vintage, mint '64 Fender bridge?! What an amazing bass this is going to be! What a smart set of specs (and choice of builder). Please keep us up to date on its progress.

Hm, someone in this club has been pining for an AC4, who was it again?

Please post a photo so we can give you a number, and so we can give a guy or two a gas attack! :p

I have to be careful what I say with the founder of the Pedulla club a member of this club as well, (hi, p0k), but yes, I agree. I haven't owned a Warwick, but I have had high end Yamahas and Pedullas, and I too prefer my Fbasses. That's not to diminish Pedullas or Yamahas by any means, my two Patitucci signatures were my main basses for years, but I just couldn't resist the sound and playability of the BN6 and AC6.

So you still have her then? For some reason I have you on the former owners list, but then again number 40 is inexplicably blank. I'm not sure what's happened, but if you still have your BN5, I'd like to slip you into #40 if that's okay with you.
 
#530
Yes sir, I still have her and she isn't going anywhere. ;) My uncle, who is a professional bass player, would kill me if I sold it I think. :p
(for anyone who likes fusion, check him out! Link Removed )

So yeah, I'd like my number back please! Thanks! :) And excuse me for my English, I'm from Holland. ;)

... I just emailed George and had him add to the VF4 vintage tint to neck finish. I'm going with a parchement pickguard.
Click to expand...
Perfect. I was going to suggest the parchment pickguard too, but changed my mind. Didn't want to meddle with your bass, but I will come out in support of what I love about it! This is REALLY going to be a nice bass, I'm way excited about it.

Wow, my apologies for the mix up. I have NO IDEA how it happened, but I'm glad it was so easy to fix.

This roster update corrects a mistake I made and gives FortressOne back his number 40.

No need to apologize for your English, you are "speaking" perfectly. As I recently told Hairman, I used to do business in Amsterdam, with a trip once to Rotterdam. I really love the Netherlands.

About your uncle's clips, I'm listening to them now. He is quite a player; I love his solos. It looks like he plays Fenders and Sadowskys... any Fbasses in his arsenal?

Wow, I'm really digging this music. Thanks for the link.

Oh that is nice. Wow. I wish I could remember who it was that is wanting an AC4... I think he is from the U.K. come to think of it... I should know this off the top of my head.

Anyway, he is going to LOVE that photo when he visits next.

This roster update welcomes Bass Junkie and his really nice AC4 to the club... and puts us all on the look out for his VF4 that is being built. Welcome!

Thanks for the compliments, I'll pass them to him. :) He plays a '68 Fender Jazz (lefty! very rare), a Marleaux 5string Jazz Deluxe and a Yamaha BB1100S fretless. He recently got a new fretless, an Otentic Jazzbass (Dutch builder, uses Fender parts). No Fbasses unfortunately, but he loves the tone of mine. :)
