SOLD FS: fbb Custom Moderna unlined fretless 4

Man, FBB's just get little to no love here on TB. Don't know why as they are very fine instruments. I could'nt even get $750 for mine here. The two that I have had were easily comparable to instruments double or more in cost. Bump for a great bass and deal!

 

Kotzman, that's a really nice bass .... I saw that during its build, very light and the neck is fantastic

And yeah, Quad, I've never understood the lack of attention to these basses. When you see the quality of the instrument, and hear the tone (they all have a fairly similar "FBB" tonal quality despite the electronics), and then look at the ridiculously low prices .... well, I just don't get it at all ....

Hope the sale goes well, this is a nice bass ...

 

No idea. I just managed to buy one used from Bass & Beyond (#1100, the one in my avatar)...... will get here on Monday. Couldn't believe the price I got it for. Not sure why there isn't more demand for these basses (other than that it's been explained to me that FBB just isn't as well known a name yet).

My bass teacher has a fretless hand-made PRS bass that was made for him in the late 70's, before PRS became big. I kind of like to think that the people out there getting FBB's, LeCompte's, etc. right now are sort of like what my bass teacher was when he got that PRS.

they have an earthy lusciousness that just feel so right in your hands, some of the lightest neck thru basses around,mine is 6.3 lbs, 32" scale. I'll have it forever.

...they really are some of the most underpriced,under-rated boutique basses out there.
Matt spends his time on what's important, tone.rather than flash.

I am dying to hear that fretless...I have a soft spot for these basses.

btw, Zadillo's FBB, I know it well, it was for sale a while ago,I always considered it sort of the sister bass to mine, I always wanted that one, enjoy!

 

Just wanted to give you a bump.

I just got my FBB bass today (#1100, the one in my avatar).

Seriously people, the pictures do not do these basses justice (and I think the pictures of these basses are beautiful).

Really, these things look great in pictures, but in person, they're like a work of art.

And the sound is great too........ already plugged it into my amp and absolutely love the sound. And the neck feels great. I definitely see what quadrogong means when he describes their "earthy luciousness that just feels right in your hands".

Really, the attention to detail in these are amazing.

The fact that people can get them used for the prices people are asking seems like it makes for one of the most amazing deals in the world of basses. Now that I've seen my own FBB bass in person, I would have gladly paid 3 times the price.

Good luck selling yours! Whoever does buy it will surely be in for a surprise.

 

if it was lined,
i might ignore the fact that I have too many basses
and just pop for it..
I definitely want either FBB or Pedulla for my first fretless,

I played my FBB all night yesterday and today after seeing this post..it reminded me of just how warm and smooth it sounds.
I need to spend some bucks on my rig now, otherwise I'd consider it.
nice looking one,it looks like his early models kinda,that's cool.
