Club FBass (Part 5)

[thndrstk6]

Sure. Like the Ritter tennis ball bass.

HAH! First "owner shot" of a VF for part 5!

Yeah, I'm in.

 

[J. Crawford]

Man, I love me some Fbass!

Hi thndrstk6,

Thks very much for your help.. =)

 

[thndrstk6]

No problem.

 

[Tom7]

I wish SMPerry would have done what the other moderators and I have done when we extend the club thread to another part, namely remind everyone in both the old part and the new part too...

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to this new thread, everyone!

 

[Tom7]

I have been using a Mooradian double gigbag for a while (for my BNF5 and Roscoe 6 string). The fit was tight but nice (especially since the Roscoe has an angled headstock). I believe it should be able to take in two BN6 (since F basses have a straight headstock).

But of course, MONO design looks more happening.

Thanks. I'll look into the Mooradian double gigbag as well then.

Tom7, there have been a couple guys that posted that their AC6s and BN6s fit fine in a
Mono so you know. I don't know if you caught those posts in the old thread.

[Laughing!]Well done, Vic.

So if I'm going to post a first, how about...

A photo of Alain Caron playing my actual bass at the Fbass shop before it shipped out?

[thndrstk6]

Very cool!

 

[Tom7]

Wow, I just got caught up in a Japanese band called Shakalabbits, based on a link from this thread. I forgot all about this thread, I've been watching each of their live vids back to back. That BN5 is devastating!

This one?

They have a great sound; I'm enjoying their videos right now.

I can't understand the words, but hey, I can't understand them half the time in English anyway.

Love it, and one of my all time favorite finger ramps. Nice.

 

[Tom7]

Wow! I like that bass!

+1. To me, hhere is definitely something, I don't know, cheerful about it. That's not the right word, but I've always lived the looks of this bass.

 

[Tom7]

...

This bass is very interesting to me. I like the scratch guard and LOVE the finger board.

For Tom7 & thndrstk6

FWIW, I use a mono (single) case and really like it.

It fits my AC5 & AC6. It also fits my 35" Fodera Emperor II so it's very versatile.

It's not as tight fitting as the F Bass (Levys) case, but that's not a problem.

By case I mean gigbag, not hard case.

Perfect. ありがとうございました。

It's ironic that their name is Mono when their DUAL case is such a killer product.

 

[Tom7]

I'll be checking out the Mono double when I've got the cash.

It's got all the features I could want. The waterproof material would be especially useful. It never seems to stop raining over here .

Especially lately from what I've been hearing.

Here's a Zebra VF5:

My youngest daughter would go NUTS over this bass! She's one of the most vocal for not selling my Yin Yang, but she's also zebra everything at the moment. THIS would help for forget the Yin Yang!

 

[Tom7]

Hey guys, wow those pics are really sweet, thanks!

The mono double fit my AC5 and BN6 no problem, I found it it be on the roomier side. Its a great bag, the zipper configuration was a little bit awkward at first, but overall it was sweet. The DUB bag has been my fave for carrying my F's. Fits like a glove and has the best protection IMO.

Wow, Jake. Perfect. I'll look into the DUB bags, but I've got cases for all my basses, and in some cases I have gig bags AND cases for each bass, so I'm mostly interested in something that would carry two, for those circumstances where back packing the two is the convenient thing to do.

Thanks, thndrstk6 for looking out for me. I'm just now catching up to all the threads now, so I appreciate your help.

Hopefully it's not too tedious for everyone for me to post so many consecutive responses. Most of the time I come on to catch up, and sometimes there is a lot to catch up on.

Plus, I like to be responsive to people's posts. I think it might be a lonely thing for someone to make a comment here and have no one say a thing about it, you know?

That is one of Alain Caron's basses. If I remember correctly Mr. Furlanetto
said it was setup for midi stuff mainly.
