Club Fbass (Part 4)

[J. Crawford]

I almost had that silver one, but the funds kinda slipped..

 

[brianh]

I think Jimmy did spec this bass...and I almost bought it. It's a monster.

I was checking out Rudy's Music site and found this 2001 BN5. I love the finish. Not the
biggest fan of the reverse headstock though.

Bass Junkie, maybe this will help you pickguard decision. Great looking bass BTW. I love fiesta red.

You are DA MAN!!! I'm going tortoise shell!! btw, not to be picky, but the VF's are 21 frets.

 

[thndrstk6]

Yeah I figured that out after I was done and merged all the layers. Sorry about that. :<

 

[bassment bn5]

My vote for Bass Junkie's VF4 in fiesta red was with the tortoise shell guard as well. Very unique.

Nothing to be sorry about. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this! Trying to visualize it in my head I thought the tortoise might be too much, but it is very classy looking and I'm going to be one happy camper!

 

[thndrstk6]

Cool. Glad I could help. Pickguards are replaceable anyways so if you don't like it you can
always just order the white one. I think a more vintage white or tan colored one would
look good too. It would match the clay inlays better than the plain white.

Hey Guys,

George just sent me this picture of my AC6. Note the neck position pickup route and 'more red' finish I requested.

Yeah, I had thought about ordering another pickguard, but I really don't want to deal with swapping it out. I originally ordered tortoise and just recently starting second guessing it, but not anymore.

The next VF4 is going to be natural Northern Ash body, one piece maple neck w/ pearloid block inlays and binding, black pickguard, chrome and black knobs. 70's position pickups, BadAss bridge. If you feel up to it I'd love to see what it would look like. Thanks!

I like that color!

 

[rayzak]

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.

Oh my!!!!
I didn't even know a VF4 was a possibility. Yet another bass to GAS over
That's going to be beautiful. Nice choice on the color. I like tort... fwiw

 

[Dave Hill]

Here's a taste of what I have coming

Snappy. That burst beneath doesnt look to shabby either.
Tort.

 

[steve f]

Tort that fiesta red!
Gorgeous bass.

Of these two, I like the tortoise shell guard too, but I'd like to see it go head to head with the parchment.

[EDIT:] Okay, never mind. Tortoise it is.

WOW! That is AWESOME! So is the fiesta red (although I prefer the parchment pickguard). And the silver BN5!

All your FBass belong to me!!!

...or at least to your hard drive.

I like the parchment too. I makes it look more candy/toy like or something.
