Hello folks,

I am selling here an insanely good fretless from Fbass. This is a custom-made version of the Alain Caron bass: AC4. Every imaginable option has been built into this bass. The bass plays and sounds fantastic, sings and growls like you would imagine in your dreams. This beuty is in excellent condition. If you are looking for the ultimate fretless, you should give this instrument a try. Comes with the original gig bag and an extra set of FBass-strings. A custom flight case can be supplied on request. Also, I have a new set of black FBbass hardware for a 5-string if you don't like the gold hardware. Purchased directly from FBass via Marcel.
Of course, such a serious piece of art has a serious price. But it is worth it. Asking Price is 6000 Euro. A trade-in is negotiable. The location of the bass is the Netherlands and shipping can be organised via DHL, GLS or UPS.

AC-4 string fretless $ 6600

F-Basses are beautiful things indeed, this one looks exceptional! 

Though the cost of some of their options is utterly ludicrous! $150 for flush mount strap locks... you can buy them for £15 and have them installed by any decent luthier for another £15! 

Still, an absolute beauty of a bass and a good price considering the new price with shipping and taxes!

Correct, the options are expensive but worth every penny 😉
