Club Fbass (thread 13)

Thanks Randy Always super cool to hear that people are digging that tune. It's a really fun one to play and I have to say that our engineer Eric Ratz did an amazing job capturing that VF tone

Number please! Just purchased a GFCustom 5 from a fellow TBer. According to George this was his first attempt at a more "Fendery" bass. He felt it was too close to a BN so he went back to the drawingboard for the final VF product. I'm supposed to receive it this Monday - can't wait!!

McMillions...I'm really digging your single that's getting a lot of air play on the radio!!...great tune !!!!

Great number, great video, great production. Love the way the bass sits in the mix - forward but very comfortable. I hope you guys do very well with this. You deserve to.

Anybody using a hard shell case for their BNF6? I'd really like to get one but I haven't had much luck finding one that it fits in. I didn't see one available on the Fbass website. Did I miss it?

Anyways any info would be appreciated.

 

[TolerancEJ]

Good idea. I should really have a hard case for my BN6.

 

[McMillions]

I have used a bunch of cases for my vf5. I know it fits in any case that is cut for a jazz bass. I don't know if the BN series is the same dimensions though. Try shooting George or Marcel a line. They could let you know.

This is what I use, to carry my f and warr guitar securely. Price and features wise, probably the best choice.

Been a few weeks but I just thought I'd post a few pics of this fantastic Studio 5 custom. Its 34", one piece back of neck, 21 frets, northern ash, ebony dots. I wanted to ressurect this model for the order as I remember how great they sounded coming out of the shop years back and also add a few twists at the same time. George came up with a way of adding an extra fret to the model without changing the neck pocket which was important to maintaining the tone of the model. I'd say that overall the Studios have a bigger bottom or deeper bottom, mids seem to focus a bit lower, and the slap is at the sweeter spot for me anyways .
I really like the cleaner simplified body shape, shorter upper horn etc too. They made 2 at the same time and they both turned out so well they might do a limited run of them before NAMM. There is the 2nd one at the shop now ready to go if anyone is interested.
Love the bass- thanks to George and Marcel!

Here's my new (to me) GFC (George Furlanetto Custom) 5. If this is George's "failed experiment" it an amazing failure. Sounds incredible and soooo easy to play. Hope this photo works.

I've only played a Studio one time back in 2000, a month after I bought my BN5. If both basses had been in the store then I probably would have walked out with the Studio! I liked the larger body better and to my ears a slightly bigger bottom. But both are great models. Good score Mitch!! Jim
