FS: F-Bass BN6

[nobodysprefect]

My main bass for two years, this six-string bass is quite versatile and playable. Alain Caron, Marcus Miller and Mike Porcaro play F-basses well, and the make does have a characteristic tone which can be heard on the Caron records (not sure about the others) and this bass also has that F-Bass tone. This won't make you play like Alain, I'm afraid (otoh you get to keep your regular gig, so it's not all bad is it? ) but has tone for days. ^_^

The electronics are very versatile, 3-band boost/cut eq and passive/active mode, and humbucking/single coil splitting. vol/vol/tone bas/mid/tre. Has a very lively tone, due to the electronics and the maple fingerboard. Can go mellow and dub if tone is dialed to 0.

Has very high quality construction, no flaws. Very playable, too. Maple 3-pc neck, swamp ash body with the F-Bass specialty 'black enhanced grain' clear finish.
Comes with the F-Bass strap and gig bag and an extra set of strings.

Musical instruments sometimes really do that 'functional pieces of art' thing which I think is more or less what Ned Steinberger said (or someone said about his instruments). hey that gave me an idea about a thread in the general forum! See you over there

booty-full bass mate!

out of curiosity, whats the reasoning behind your username?

[nobodysprefect]

'I'm not even a man!'
'Nobody's perfect'

That, and I've come to consider it an empirical fact that nobody really is perfect, there a blemish in every one of us. The typo is mine.

Kidding! I did it on purpose so it's not a blemish. Guess I really *am* purrrfect after all.

Sorry about the bad humour.

A quote from Marilyn movie and supposed to be funny because it's misspelled.

[rockinbassman]

[nobodysprefect]

i'm pretty far short of this amount of dosh... perhaps if I sold off one of the herd and made up the dosh with the money that was gonna pay for a year of car insurance =\

if we get any success after our impending studio visit, then I might hit this thread again. until then, have a bump on me
