Description
F-Bass is a specialist bass guitar manufacturer based in Canada, and they are focused in making high-quality basses that look and sound fantastic, while being reliable for all types of bassists. One of the models that the produce is the BN5, which the model is influenced by the jazz bass model, but it also carries the 40+ years of F Bass evolution with their own characteristics. The BN5 features a Northern White Ash body wood construction, which gives the bass a stunning natural finish and well-balanced tones. It has a 22-fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard and a 3-piece quartersawn maple neck, which the maple gives it a satisfying snap and the ebony gives a bright tone and classy aesthetics. For electronics, it is equipped with 2 F Bass stacked single coil pickups and a F Bass 9V preamp, and they are capable with producing different tones, hence making this bass very versatile.
It is worthwhile to mention that F Bass basses have a tone knob that works in both active and passive mode. We are not sure why this wiring is not adopted with more basses (Alleva Coppolo, Sadowsky, Le Fay, F Bass basses have this same feature, to our knowledge, and perhaps there are more out there), as it adds versatility to the tone by many miles. Many other basses have passive mode without a tone control; and for those that does have a tone control knob, it doesn’t work in active mode. We understand that treble-cut can be regarded as tone roll off, but really, it’s not the same.
This bass is used and it is in Very Good condition. There are nicks and fine cleaning marks around the body, most noticeable around the knobs area and pickup cover (some photos are close ups to show these). There are minor paint chips on the pickup cover. There are some general dullness throughout the body due to normal usage. There are some signs of wear near the battery compartment. There are no significant signs of wear on the neck and fretboard, and there are 90% of the fret remaining. The headstock is in great condition. The black finish on the hardwares remains intact, the electronics are working normally and the truss rod functions in both direction. This bass comes with an original nylon hard case and registration paper. For all technical specification, please visit additional information tab above.
