Club Fbass (thread 12)

[Tom7]

My new F Bass BN6 (Satin Blue NPF) arrived yesterday. I celebrated Canada Day twice, July 1 and July 2. I spent many hours enjoying this beautiful sounding, fantastic piece of art. When I first unzipped & opened the F Bass gigbag, I could faintly smell the fresh paintjob. Nice packaging touch of inserting plastic bubble wrap between the strings/frets and the pickups. I don't recall receiving an instrument packaged so well. Being an NPF finish, the woodgrains feel wonderful. I love the curvature of upper cutaway horn. I also ordered an F Bass/Levy's strap. The strap buttons on the BN6 are huge! Judging by the struggle I had to get the strap on, I will not need to install straplocks. This is my first bass with a maple fretboard. Attack (response time) is immediate! The angled body at the bolt-on joint presents an extremely accessible upper register.

Every picture I try to take with my iPhone makes it look purple. (My music room has dark red walls, so that's most likely the reason. I'll try other areas of the house for better pics.) For pics, I'll just refer you to my last post back on Post 185. AC5

I would like an F Bass Club number please, Tom7.

I am so sorry for the delay on this. I think I thought that you'd be posting fresh, non-iPhone photos soon and that was what I was going to use for your membership link.

I'm sorry again.

No problem. Thank you very much, Tom7. I don't have a decent camera, so every picture I take at home makes the bass look purple. I'll try again later & post it here.

Try taking the photo with natural light and near a window.

+1 a great guy here on TB who is a professional photographer, gave me the advice of "always try and find the light."

Can't wait to see a few snapshots of this beautiful blue beast.

ToleranceEJ....really dig the FBASS dude!

 

[TolerancEJ]

Thanks a ton Randyt!

Ok, it's a very nice day outside. I took my BN6 on the patio for a bit of noodling. Then decided to take a picture under the natural light. It resulted in a much better picture.

 

[Tom7]

Nice!

 

[Black Bart]

There you go, beautiful. Congratulations.

 

[TolerancEJ]

Thanks Tom7 & Kinetic Shadow!

Beauty bass, excellent picture, congratulations and infinite joy playing your new instrument.

Now, it may be the photo or my iPhone, but that grass needs some watering...

Thanks! Yeah, we haven't had rain for about 2 weeks + hot weather. I have to cut the lawn before watering. Most likely doing that tomorrow.

Congrats on your new F Bass, and I know that you'll have many hours of pure pleasure playing her.

So I may be getting my wish. A member offered a VF5 in trade for my beloved BN5.

I think the vintage vibe will be better atheistically in my current steady gig!

I've only owned BNs in the past. Very excited at the prospect of trying one of these babies.

Thank you.
