I noticed the same thing. I also think it has to do with the strap lock
location being up farther. It makes the bass sit more angled and back. I
wouldn't want my Fbass to feel just like a standard or traditional jazz
though. The feel isn't bad or good for me just different and I like variety
in my basses.

I had Goerge install the lower strap button in the conventional (middle of the bass) position, in order to help keep the bass flatter against my body.

Nice.

Who has a picture of the pumpkin colored F bass?

 

[funkygeos]

Thanks for the love guys! Ken, you're right - the night we recorded the clips was at a smaller venue so I used my LDS 112 cab and it was more than enough for me. And yeah - when you play some nice tunes with a drummer that good it makes it easy to hold it down on bass!

Jason, your band is simply amazing... I wish i can play the bass like you~!

Tru, dat!

Here are some clips featuring Jason at the very first Bowlus Bass Borg GTG:

Jason and MikeBass playing two of Vic's basses (some off brand )

Jason playing some other bass (gee, also one of Vic's! I smell conspiracy! )

LOL!!

Man, I'd love to get Jason on a VF5 and see what he sounds like.

Tom, after we get back, you gotta' set that up.

Yes to both of your questions

Great clips, and I love the playing.

And great basses too, Vic. That second clip especially of Jason playing the chambered 535 was nice. I've always loved MTD's clarity.

 

[Tom7]

Yes to both of your questions

Ah, got it. Update to come. BTW, you and I have very similar tastes...

Seems we have indeed a similar taste To me, the redwood burl is the best-looking top for a AC. And I wanted the additional neck pickup to get some additional tones that are more "deep" like an acoustic bass.

Yes, I definitely wish I would have got a neck pickup on my AC6, and I toy with the idea sending it back for one when I can afford to, but at least my second AC6 has two magnetic pickups....

Also, not only do I like the redwood for how it looks as a top, I'm told that it helps soften the harshness that the piezo can bring to the tone as well.

So it's a floor wax AND a desert topping!

Are those flatwounds?

 

[BassBoss]

The fretted one is especially beautiful. If I had to choose another fretted bass, this would be the one. Stunning, and the sound must be amazing. I had a BN5 black ceruse, but I sold it because it was too heavy to play live, my back ached after an hour of playing this 12lbs monster. Sound very nice, though. Edit: yes they are flats, Daddario Chromes. I had to combine the light 4-string set with a lower string... guess it was 40-110.

Interesting. I have TI Jazz Flats on my fretless AC6 right now and love 'em.

I have a BN5 as well, and a BN6 for that matter, and I guess I don't care how much I ache after I play them. That may change over time, but for now the look, playability and tone are just too good for me to pass on.

I keep staring at the photo of your bass, wishing I had a second magnetic pickup on my fretless. :-/

 

[BassBoss]

I guess it´s not that bad, because you got that little wooden thing, so you can comfortably play on the end of the fretboard and produce a very similar sound which is also very deep and acoustic.
