Congrats Mitch. Well deserved. Couldn't be partnered with nicer people than George, Marcel and team IMO.

Glad your VF-PJ5 turned out so well as I am loving your old VF5 (JJ).![]()
Dan in Markham is a great guy and I have bought some high end stuff from him including a Fodera. If they don't have stock, a trip to Hamilton is well worth the time. I was there for a couple of hours looking at wood, talking to all the staff, playing basses and getting the Marcel tour. Had a blast!Long and McQuade Markham is now a dealer I believe. I really need to go try out an FBass.
Yes, Dan is the man! Markham store definitely has the nicest selection of high end bass gear.Dan in Markham is a great guy and I have bought some high end stuff from him including a Fodera.

I like the FBass bag as wellI have another post that some of you may have seen related to cases and gig bags. My recent F Bass acquisition is what led to that query. I have 2 other custom bases that also came in gig bags. And, apparently, based on the current results of the poll, gig bags are the preferred transportation device. The one the F Bass came with is a worn and well used. The fact that the bass doesn't look that way I would think is a credit to the quality of the case. So, I am thinking about replacing it. What would you do? Contact F Bass and get another gig bag? Buy another brand of gig bag? Does F Bass offer a hard shell case? Would you buy that? Is there another brand of hard case that the F bass will fit in?
Love the bass and it rapidly becoming my #1.

As the Mono M80.
I only use hard cases if I travel with a bass - which isn't that often any more.
None that I know of but I should try it in my Fodera case. Haven't travelled with the FBass yet.In which hard case does your F bass fit?
Excellent write up. You more than deserve to be recognized like that Mitch! And what a great way from a top rated, world renowned shop from our back yard.
Congrats. Got any links to recordings with Fbasses?

Right. I was inquiring about Mitch's recordings.Pretty anything Alain Caron has released in the past over 20 years has benn done on Fbasses. He is a wonderful musician.
I played this bass a month or so ago and knew that I had found something special. It is 2012 model and in wonderful condition. I just took a couple of quick pics, but wanted to share and join the club. May I have a number?
I posted this and a photo a week or so ago and was hoping to get a number. Are they still be handed out?
