NBD F Bass BN5

[Doddy]

A year ago, I was able to visit F Bass  in Hamilton, Ontario, where I was able to try out a bunch of their amazing basses and take a tour of the factory. And now, a year later, I've been able to return to pick up my new BN5.

It has a Northern Ash body, 3 piece maple neck with maple fingerboard, gold hardware ( F Bass branded Gotoh tuners, Hipshot B style bridge, Dunlop straplocks), and F Bass' own pickups and preamp. The blueburst finish is so deep, that photos don't do it justice.

The playability is crazy good. The neck is so smooth and easy to play. Tonally, the boost only preamp is super versatile, and never becomes unmusical. 

I also had an F Bass branded gig bag, strap, and spare F Bass branded strings. 

This is undoubtedly the best bass I've ever played, and I've played a lot. Big thanks to George and Marcel Furlanetto for the bass and the service.

That is very pretty.

beautiful, and it probably plays and sounds equally good - jealous!

That`s a bit of a stunner!

These things sound amazing. A fretted and fretless pair of Alain Caron models would be ideal for me.
