NO MORE AVAILABLE FT/(fs) F BN6 MINT!!!

[slapierro]

Hello dear Basschat'ers,
here is a simple but amazing F BN6 with a nice Amber high-gloss finish,maple fingerboard and chrome hardware,
i'm the third owner (first from Israel,second from the great Will Karling from East of France)and i can certifiate you that bass is incredibly mint!
this one cost me more than $4000 in second-hand (dang! third-hand sorry),
arff yes,very few superficial dings on the gloss at the back of this bass but very quietly invisible beyond 20 mm,

my Graal for this trade would be a Ken SMITH BSR6GN Walnut (only long horns),an oooold dream or any other Smith near that one + cash in necessity, but i'm open for others high-end 6 or 5,let me know...

what could i say more?
yes i'm living in Paris,Fr. but i'm very experienced for safe shipping,don't be worry about it...

-2 pieces ash body with maple top,
-3 pieces neck 24 frets and maple fingerboard,
-chrome hardware with Hipshot B bridge 19mm strings spacing
-F wood covered pickups and preamp,
-fresh Labella Slappers 6 strings set,
here is the pots layout:2 vol. the second one have push/pull for active/passive, general tone for active or passive and when it's pulled at the top the regular 2 single-coil pickups
become 2 strong humbuckers,
second row:3 band EQ,no cut only boost,
the ergonomic body is well known of all,at last that neck is incredible easy and fast to play:width at nut is 54mm (for a 6 strings) and the profile is very thin all along the neck with a one enough round radius,
let's talk the pics:
(sorry i'm not a good photographer) CLICKABLE pics indeed:

Great bass! George´s BNs have an excellent balance on the strap which particularly helps with the playability of the six-string bass.

[quote]here is the pots layout:2 vol. the second one have push/pull for active/passive, general tone for active or passive and when it's pulled at the top the regular 2 single-coil pickups
become 2 strong humbuckers,[/quote]

Actually, pulling up the tone knob should engage the active eq, pulling up bridge volume gives the single-coil sound - which is louder than the humbucker sound with F-Basses.

Good luck with the sale!

[slapierro]

yes you're right Jogi,
i've simply wrote the opposite so thanks!

and you're one more right to specify that
bass have an excellent balance on the strap,
no neck dive at all.
