Club Fbass (thread 13)

[metalstorm]

Yes.... I was wondering about that too. I guess it is more complicated to sell to someone in the US and then ship in Canada. So this is why it was done this way. Either way, it should arrive next week and then I will really be able to put it through its paces.

 

[bass08053]

Any Philly, NJ or NYC members have a 5-6 string BNF or a fretless AC that they would be willing to let me try out under your supervision? I've had a BN5 since '02 and want to try both before ordering or finding one to purchase. Lunch on me for your time. Thank you.

I love Georges' reds! And yes, red is my favorite color! Jim

I love Georges' reds! And yes, red is my favorite color! Jim

Question, my BN5 is a 1999, back when George was using a very soft nitro finish. So soft that I had him make a clear pickguard for it as my thumb position behind the front pup ate through the finish in one week. I know he has been using a harder finish for the past several years. As there are no opportunities for me to see a newer one, do you guys who have no pg VFs have any issues with the new finish, or newer BNs' for that matter? Thanks, Jim

 

[metalstorm]

I have had the red one for 3 years and gigged the crap out of it and the finish still looks great. No problems whatsoever.

This new blue one sounds really good. The B string is more even sounding than on the red one. They sound quite different.

Good to know, thanks. Play the heck out the new blue one too Is the difference mostly on the B string or overall sound is different? Just the variables of hand made basses I guess. Same strings? Jim

 

[metalstorm]

The red one emphasizes the lower mids and the blue one emphasizes a different mid frequency. 60' J vs 70's J. First thing I did when I got the bass was set it up the same as the red one and put on the same strings. The B just feels a bit more integrated, in the instrument.

 

[KoaFodera]

Since it had to have Koa in the build, George and Marcel came up with the idea of adding a cap on the heel block.

 

[Indi86]

Alright, time to request club membership, I think. Took delivery just under a month ago on this beast, my Tea Burst BN-5. It is glorious.
