    Selling my very unique and incredible Fbass BN5. I just bought this locally last week. It was listed on talkbass but the seller is in Toronto area as am I. I over extended myself because I am impulsive and had to have this insanely beautiful Fbass even though I can't afford it right now. It is in immaculate condition. It is a 2018 model that was a NAMM showpiece. It is very unusual in that it has a matte finish with a flat carved top and a honey roasted ash body. Visually, tonally and ergonomically it is pretty much perfect. It is my 6th BN5 and by far the most beautiful and eye catching.

    I will consider trades and would prefer ones that net me at least $1000 US. I would much prefer an outright sale though. High on my trade list would be a Skjold Slayer or possibly anSadowsky NYC modern or sadowsky pj5or a Satin series modern. 5 strings only.

    Selling for $3900 $3750 shipped in North America with the Fbass gigbag.

    Body - Roasted Northern Ash
    Top Finish - Matte Black
    Neck maple
    Fretboard - Macassar Ebony
    Exposed pole Fbass hum cancelling single coils
    Roasted ash pickguard
    19mm spacing
    34.5 scale
    9.4lbs (according to my bathroom scale)

    I will consider select straight trades but I will be very picky. The right skjold slayer or a NYC Sadowsky Modern. Not a satin series. Also possibly the right Dingwall.
