Dig it! If you ever let go of it... just saying.

Never ever. I’m like you, I want the rest of them as if they are the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos. I actually need to send mine to Hamilton to have the electronics fixed. Had an issue off and on for a while. I miss playing my number one bass.

Delivered a while ago. I love this bass so much. Wired a push pull to remove the jazz pickup. Fantastic option . I love the simplicity of just a passive p bass. Don’t miss the preamp but I’ve never really used them in my prior fbasses. AC pickups as an upgrade . HIGHLY recommend them

Hey F-Family! Hope you guys are doing well! Have a question regarding strings...
I haven't tried other strings than the "F-Bass" (exposed core strings) on my BN6. I must say they sound and feel really good... took a while to get used to the different feel but it's really smooth and they really last damn long too! Does any of you have tried other strings that sound better than the "F-Bass exposed core strings" ? On my other basses (J-Bass style, etc.) I usually use DR strings (most of the time "Fatbeams" or "Hi Beams"). Any experiences with DR strings compared to the F-Bass strings? "Fatbeams" sound killer on my J-style bass (nailing the Marcus slap tone). Would does work better on the BN6 or is it better to stick to the F-Bass strings for getting the optimal tone? Really looking forward to your feedback and experiences! Thanks guys!

I tried a few types of strings on my BN6, but came back to F-Bass strings. To me, they add a little something that normal (ie non-exposed-core) strings lack.

I really enjoy the sunbeams and the Low Rider nickles. Sunbeams are my fav BY far.

How about the string gauge? I ordered an F Bass (gotta wait for a year) but I am used to play 35-90 (4 string set). Do F Bass strings come in light gauge as well?

Anyone know where to get the a direct replacement jack for a BN? Reached out to Fbass, but, no reply.

 

[blueacid4l]

Just a headsup to group:
I have a unique VF5 up in the classifieds.

For Sale/Trade - Feeler F-Bass VF5 Custom (Update)

Don't worry, I still have my VF5 60s and 70s models so I'll still be in the group.

They do sometimes fall a bit behind... I'd try emailing them again or calling.
