Club Fbass (thread 13)

Nice tone. What's that finish, it looks like some kind of matte fade

Thanks!

It's Antique brown burst finish.

Hello Club FBass. I just picked up a gorgeous Maple Butter BN6 FBass and would like to join the club.

Anyone got a bn4 in the $2500-$2700 range? I would gladly entertain some that went for less. Hoping for chrome hardware.

Anyone in Canada with a BN5 looking to add a string? Thinking of trading my BN6 for a BN5...

 

[Planetguitar]

I think so, too!

Yes, expecially when you really dig in!

Still looking if someone has a bn4 in this price range. I just can't go beyond that such is life.

Exquisitely stunning in every aspect. The tone, looks, feel and playability surpasses my expectation. Guys at the Fbass really nailed it for me...

Any input on the tonal qualities of the Pale Moon?

Beautiful bass and yes, Marcel is awesome!

Beautiful bass and yes, Marcel is awesome!

The grain under transparent finish is such a subtle but irresistible tease! Amazing

BN owners.. did y'all mostly get the standard vol/vol or master vol/blend option? pros and cons?

 

[wthompson007]

I went for the two volume controls, more tonal options. With the blend, if you want 60% bridge pick up, by default the neck pick up has to be 40%. With two volumes, if the bridge pick up is at 60%, the neck pick up can be also 60%, or 20%, or 90, 100% or whatever you want it to be.
I know this is a simplification, but should be enough for the point to come across.

 

[Dave Hill]

George specs V/V/T….that’s good enough for me. V/B/T seems more convenient, though.

 

[MattLplaysBass]

I have VVT, if I had it to do over, I’d get VBT, but I also should try and use the VV as opposed to all on/off. That being said, it is hard to get a bad sound out of my BN5, even when I am playing it
