Club Fbass (thread 13)

[Mark Wilson]

My new BN6 arrived last week...it is absolutely killer...will post pics soon!!...playing way too much to take pics...LOL

Is it the one in your picture there? Marcel mentioned you while I was there not long ago. I got to play the one in your display picture but it was way too nice for me haha

 

[Randyt]

Mark...you probably played "The Wallace"....Solid Walnut body with 5 piece ash neck....16mm spacing?...The one in my avatar is an AC6....Both are crazy basses!!...
What did you think of Wallace??

 

[Tom7]

There is an attractive, blue, VF5 in stock on Fbass.com. I love the enhanced grain coming through.

I also love the look of that bridge.

 

[Black Bart]

There you go with that blue again. Aaaaahhhh!

 

[Tom7]

Laughing. This blue VF5 is marked "on hold." I wonder what a VF6 like this would be like, particularly if it was 24 fret.

 

[Black Bart]

Dig the blue that F Bass uses so much I changed the background color of my avatar

 

[Steve Clark]

I went to F Bass on Friday and came away with a used AC5. Previous owner had taken very good care of the bass considering it's a '99. I sold an Rob Allen and Eminence to fund this. Now I'm thinking about selling some more to fund a fretted F Bass.

Excellent choice Steve!

Now I'm thinking about selling some more to fund a fretted F Bass.

I would!

Great grab! I'll never forget my first AC6; it's a love that never dies!

Love this. It looks like the BN6 that Donovan had for sale for awhile on Fretspot, but you're in Canada... is this from George directly?

 

[sorgas]

Here we go guys....seems that soon i'll be part of the club!!!

 

[Black Bart]

Beauty, love the color and blocks. Congrats!

Yes...this is directly through George and Marcel!!!!

 

[firebass]

Has anyone tried Elixir strings on an AC5/6?

I'm happy with the F Bass strings I've been using for years... I'm just curious as to what they might sound like...

 

[Tom7]

Here we go guys....seems that soon i'll be part of the club!!!

Cool blocks, cool body color, 21 frets, bent plate bridge, p-bass pickup, j-bass pickup in the 60s position... you know that bass has some wonderful vintage mojo happening! Congratulations.

Has anyone tried Elixir strings on an AC5/6?

I'm happy with the F Bass strings I've been using for years... I'm just curious as to what they might sound like...

I've had a package kicking around the house for a long time now, but I've not actually put them on something... so I'm no help on this one.

Cool blocks, cool body color, 21 frets, bent plate bridge, p-bass pickup, j-bass pickup in the 60s position... you know that bass has some wonderful vintage mojo happening! Congratulations.

Thanks, im sure i will be so happy with this guy, the thing that i really hope, is about comfort and playability, i asked Marcel to put a BN neck, cause the only Fbasses i tried were all BN4 and 5, and the feeling on the neck was great, so easy to play, hope this baby it works out like this!!!
