birdy Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Guys, Details here as I recently got this from Flanker..... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22233&hl=bn5"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22233&hl=bn5[/url] It really is probably one of the best basses I have ever owned. I am only selling because I want to trim down the collection to one or two basses and concentrate on them and I have deliberated for days as to whether to keep this or the Nordy. Ultimately the tone of the Nordy slightly suits the covers band I play in more. Not really interested in trades unless you have a quality preamp or head that I could take as part ex. Thanks for looking, Based in Birmingham - would prefer meet up/collection to ensure its what you want and are happy etc. I will try and get some of my own pics up over the weekend.

geoffbassist Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 wow! serious bass..........steves a top fella and this is a bargin,
overwater#1 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Very very nice bass sir..!!! Hey, im playing in Birmingham tomorrow at Symphony Hall
birdy Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Sorry Guys, The price is around £1300 as thats what I paid for it and thats what its worth in my opinion. Steve
Flanker Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Bump for a superb bass...........oh and Steve's OK too!

birdy Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 There was a price in Flankers thread that I linked to and I assumed wrongly that people would read that and know that I was wanting about the same. The price isn't cast in stone but it won't be leaving me for silly money so any offers or interest let me know. If it hasn't sold by the time I can book some leave to get down to London I will leave it with the Gallery to sell. Thanks Steve
birdy Posted July 19, 2008 Author Posted July 19, 2008 Have had the chance to spend some quallity time with this bass and I am going to hang on to it for the time being. Steve
birdy Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 It was a really close call as to whether to keep this or the Nordy VJ5 but the Nordy just suits what I am doing better at the moment so its back up for sale. Get in touch if interested in this fantastic fiver!! Thanks Steve
geoffbassist Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 im loving my fbass at the moment, this is an amazing price as well, really top instrument.....if i didnt already have one i would be all over this!
birdy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 No interest so it must be overpriced in the current market. Down to £1100 plus p&P or whatever. Steve

thedontcarebear Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I wish I had £1100, I may have to look at selling my Les Paul.
dougal Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 What's the difference between a BN5 & the studio here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17441&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17441&st=0[/url] ?
jogi Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 The Studio has a 20 fret neck, the BN has two frets more. According to George Furlanetto the Studio has more mass at the body and thus more low midrange punch - though I never missed any of that on my F-Bass.

I don't think the studio is made anymore. In one thread a couple of people said the Studio was more precision type sounding and the BN5 more jazz like but that could be complete rubbish. Anyway, lets BUMP this beauty back up to the top. I know F basses aren't as well known over here as in the US but this is a seriously good price for this bass. First to see and play with the money will buy this bass. Steve
