Description
F-bass is a Canadian brand that was founded by George Furlanetto in 1978. Over the years, these basses have been molded into a perfect combination of classic sound and modern comfort. George continues to improve his basses through deep research and to spar with some of the best bass players in the world.
The body is made of ash and the fingerboard is made of Rosewood for that warm punchy sound. With the volume/volume, tone and the three-band all boost EQ you have a ton of possibilities for sculpting your sound meticulously to fit your needs. The pickups are F-bass’ own single coil pickups. The sound is clearly defined – very convincing classic P sound from the neck pickup; a bridge pickup with plenty of bite. Blended slap tone is amongst the best we have heard from any bass. Luminlay side dots to help navigate dark venues.
F-bass preamp with controls – older style so take note that this is different from the more recent BN5s or later years Studio models:
neck pickup volume, blend knob, passive tone control – works in active mode too, pulled bypasses the preamp
bass boost, mids boost, treble boost
The bass is used and is in Good condition. It has been played quite extensively – where finger marks on the maple fingerboard can be seen – very similar to the “relic” produced by Fender Custom Shop… The body and headstock match in colour, and they have been refinished to satin black. The bridge has oxidation but no harm to its function. The bass comes with a generic gig bag.
