No problem liking that; it was fun.Hello,guys. I don't wanna you think it's spam, but I wouldn't ask if it wasn't so important for me and my band. We take part in Shure contest. You'd really help us if you liked our song here: https://soundcloud.com/shure-europe/crauser. Thank you so much.
By the way, I play my BN6 here
BTW, my speakers were turned up too high (child prank) when it came on and I was almost knocked out of my chair! ;-)
I will be absolutely NO help for you, but your post reminds me that years ago I set out to buy my first Sadowsky and ended up buying a VF5. It has a wonderful playing neck -- and balance and great tone of course.
Donovan is fantastic; you really should know him. He's "famous" for his homey youtube videos showing off his bass inventory -- particularly Fbass.
Here is a GREAT, in depth video where a new VFP-5 owner, and obvious long time p-bass enthusiast, talks about his new Fbass
And here is the clip of it being played.

The link in your ad didn't work when I tried it, Jason.
I can't believe you are selling that bass.
I got to play that bass and was VERY intrigued by it.
One of the things I remember about Jason's VF5 is how lively the ash body made the finger style tone, and how warm the rosewood made the slap tone. I kept wanting to go back and forth between slapping and fingerstyle just to experience that cool transition.

Yeah, I liked that one too. He is easy to like and does a great job showing it off.
Come to think of it, if that trade doesn't work out, Jake, this bass may be that spot you were looking for.
Thanks Tom.
I fixed the link to the sound clip on my website.
Sad to see her go too, but a lack of work is forcing me to make some changes.
I hope she gets a good home.

Thats going to be very interesting....we'll see if it retains some of the same tonal qualities re above. Hopefully I'll be around when its done, I'd like to give it a whirl.
Mitch...I could shoot you an email when its ready...I know you played my other custom AC6...(tight string spacing).
when it was there!
UPS will hand me my new FBass by the end of next week. It has a Root Beer finish! This will be my fourth F and I am excited!

Congrats Gary! My BN6 will most likely be the last sixer I own. That's saying a lot from a trader like me.

I could see that. I think in my case the alder body was much more the culprit than the rosewood board in not being able to get quite comfortable. Phillip received your old VF and his is scheduled to be delivered to me tomorrow!!
So just got a Fbass BN6 in trade and it's a serious bass! Love it! I'm very surprised at how easy the 6 is to play!!!
My question is, I just paid for a full set up because there was a lot of buzzing going on. After the set up, the buzzing is better, but it's still there. Now this is my first 6 and I want to know if that's normal for such a large fretboard. The guy said there looks to be a slight twist in the neck too, but I couldn't see it. He's said that before too, and I couldn't see it (different bass). So did I get ripped on a set up or is there going to be some clank/buzz in a 6 no matter what?

You know what's weird is I only notice a buzz when I'm not playing on a amp. Must just be the strings breaking in. God this thing sounds great!!
Hi there: there are two sides of the string when you play a note in your fretboard, one side between note and the bridge and the other between the note and the nut.
It is possible that your nut is too low and the strings you are using buzz a little against the frets. Since the amplified section is way more louder than this part of your bass, you'll only notice it when you are not amplified.
I have a similar issue with my AC6, George suggested me changing the nut, which i will do once i'll be close to their location.
Hope this helps, refards
