I am "working" on my spec for a Bn6.
Does one you have tried a alder body with maple fingerboard ?
Also, does some one know if we can put a tone block on a BN 6 ?
(thinking about ash body, alder tone block and maple fingerboard)

My idea would be to add a bit of warm on the ash body/maple fingerboard.

Thanks !

+1 as well.

January is too busy of a month for me to get away from my business.

Anybody got their hands on a VP5 yet. Interested to hear thoughts on the tone.

So I listed my BN6 for sale, and am already thinking of pulling it. I'm having issues with tendinitis, which has made me get rid of basses in the past. Someone suggested simply wearing the bass a bit higher, and this took away all the pain!

Now I'm wondering, if I keep it, would a refin destroy the value? I really, really, like the way it looks. I would like to get the little nicks and such taken care of by a pro so it has a nicer finish.

It's not SUPER important, but I would be very happy to spend the extra cash to do it.

I've considered this question many times and always decided to leave them be. If it's not an issue that is bad for the instrument or impedes playability, let it stay.

Congrats, I love the finish on that one.

How well shielded are F Basses? I like to solo the bridge pickup and wondering how it sounds in single coil mode. I know there's no way to get rid of 60 cycle hum, but some basses are shielded better than others.
Also, how does it sound in humbucking mode? I've heard the single coil option is louder.

 

[jebmd]

Shielded extremely well. Check out the control cavity pics on page 38 of this thread.

Hello there, quick video trying some effects, looking for a "piano" sound (to my ears). It is with "Thor" , a fretted AC6 wearing Black Beauties

Hope you like it

In awe from all the F's for sale around TB but I found this one elsewhere and on it's way home to me!
You may not be able to tell but m.o.p block inlays on the fingerboard and a 5-bolt pattern which I'm not sure why that is compared to the normal 4-bolt pattern on BN5's...

Awesome, congrats.

Unknown on the 5 bolt pattern. What year was she built?

Fbass owners, just have a quick question. What kind of strings do you prefer? FBass, LaBella?
