Up for sale is my 2015 F Bass BN5. This is a killer bass with amazing tone, versatility, and super comfortable to play. It's something about the F Bass necks, they feel so good! The bass is in excellent playing condition. I got it used about two years ago and have kept it up well. It has very minimal signs of wear and tear, just a few minor scuff marks in the gloss which I never notice.
One detail to bring to your attention: The frets all play great, but from the side, under close inspection, you can see a slight gap between the fretboard and the fret near the edges of the fretboard. This is only the case for some of the frets. The gaps max out at the size large enough to get a fingernail underneath it. I took the bass to my luthier for this issue, but he didn't want to do anything, because it doesn't affect the playability of the instrument and the frets are all still securely in place (none of them are loose). He had suggested that one could try to lightly tap the frets deeper into the wood where they are elevated, but I didn't feel confident in my skills to do so.
The specs are mostly standard for a BN5, with the exception of having two straplocks. Here they are:
Northern Ash Body with grain enhancement
3-piece Maple neck
Macassar Ebony Fingerboard
19 mm string spacing at bridge
22 frets
Aluminum hipshot B-style bridge
Two straplocks, on in line with bridge, one offset
~10.2 lbs (F basses weight is well distributed, so it feels lighter)
Currently strung up with D'Addario NYC nickels
Comes with an F Bass gig bag
