Found one! Olive top BN5. A friend of mine took it. It has ash body, Alder core and it's a neck through! Oh my!!
BN5 with pickguard! I've had this idea for sometimes and now that I've seen it I think it looks perfect!!!
With exposed pole pickups, too.
Nice, I was just thinking about an olive wood top after getting a new wooden spoon for the kitchen
Fantastic grain!
That NAMM VF5 in black with the music-man style bridge pickup looks pretty interesting. An F bass playability with a more aggressive sound. I like the idea. Anyone get to play the bass?

I got to play it. I absolutely fell in love with it.
Thinking on ordering a VF in the future with that config now.

Hi,This has been my bass for 10 almost 10 years now, gorgeous BNF5
Never needed a set up other than changing strings, but the G string is making some noises now.
I've noticed holes "post-nut". See the picture. The nut itself has the holes at the fingerboard height...
This bass sings perfectly but since I've never adjusted the neck tension since I got it, I was wonder if it needs a professional repair, nut, fingerboard leveled...
Any thoughts?
Also... The wrench for the neck relieve ... Is it special? It's almost impossible to access.
Thanks!!!

It could be a dud set of strings. Or your neck might need a bit of relief.
It's not a hard thing to do, but if you're uncomfortable in anyway, bring it in to a professional.
Another option is email the guys at Fbass. They're super nice and could offer suggestions.
This is my beloved AC-4. Custom Built, One Piece Spalted Maple Body, maple body and extra PU at the neck. Endless Mwaaah! Any idea if this qualifies for being added to the memberlist ;-)
