They sound even better! The AC headstock is signed by some "Alain Caron" guy

Hello, F Bass people... I think it's time for me to join the club!
A few months ago, I bought this 2019 Maple/Ash BN5 with Sunburst finish from South Shore Music in Weymouth, MA:
And just today, the FedEx man delivered this 2007 AC5 Fretless with a Quilted Redwood top and Maple body from Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar in Seattle, WA:
These are their photos, I'll post a few of my own a little later on

Wow- both very nice. That redwood top on the AC is outstanding...
Here are a few of my own photos:
Oh, and I wanted to quickly lower the action, so I removed the neck to shim it. When I did, I found "THE GROWLER!" inside:
With the neck shimmed + thumb rest removed, the fretless feels AMAZING!

Very nice AC5!
I think that was one of the redwood tops I was offered for my 2007 AC5 build.

The switches were part of my custom order request
piezo on/off
active/passive
kill switch (Fodera-style)
The knobs look like Redwood but are made of another wood that I can't remember that's more suitable to turning on the lathe.
Satin finish with no purfling.

My 2nd knob is an on/off switch for the piezo as well. The question I have is why have a switch when you can just turn the Piezo volume down?
Cool thanks.
The switches are small enough as to not clutter the body. The knobs look like they are Bloodwood, the option I chose for my VF5 JJ.
Stunning, stunning bass you've got there! Congrats
It seemed like a good idea at the time, based on my experience with the AC6 I had.
Things change, and in reality now I hardly ever use the piezo, so I don't need the switch anymore.
Hey guys!
It’s been awhile but I’ve got a new F-Bass! A very very cool BN6!
At the end of last year, I decided to take the plunge and try 6. It’s been a ton of fun. I had a couple BN6’s in the past and had fretting hand issues with them. I believe my hands weren’t ready for 6. Fast forward about 5 years and I tried a deadly custom BNF fretted 6 at Fbass shop. The 16.5mm spacing piqued my interest and it fit like a glove. This Ceruse BN6 is 19mm spacing and it still works just fine!
So...here it is...my 2000 build BN6!
Tom, if you’re updating the Fbass Club records...this is the only F in my stable at the moment! Thanks man!

Gotcha! I removed all others but your very nice BN6.
I made the other updates too; feel free to check I got it right, guys.
And welcome to SeanB and Ben Alman to the club! Very nice!

Wow, my recent discovery of F basses is due to Dmitry Maximov's playing on the Chicago cover of Make Me Smile. Must be a DI feed. Great thick & balanced tone bottom to top. GAS list.
Synchronicity 1 by the Police played on my F bass VF4:
Nice job, sir, except for not singing it, too...
Love the tone! That looks like a pretty cool space, too. Well done!What's your recording setup and chain, if you don't mind?
