nobodysprefect Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) My main bass for two years, this six-string bass is quite versatile and playable. Alain Caron, Marcus Miller and Mike Porcaro play F-basses well, and the make does have a characteristic tone which can be heard on the Caron records (not sure about the others) and this bass also has that F-Bass tone. This won't make you play like Alain, I'm afraid (otoh you get to keep your regular gig, so it's not all bad is it? ) but has tone for days. ^_^ The electronics are very versatile, 3-band boost/cut eq and passive/active mode, and humbucking/single coil splitting. vol/vol/tone bas/mid/tre. Has a very lively tone, due to the electronics and the maple fingerboard. Can go mellow and dub if tone is dialed to 0. Has very high quality construction, no flaws. Very playable, too. Maple 3-pc neck, swamp ash body with the F-Bass specialty 'black enhanced grain' clear finish. Comes with the F-Bass strap and gig bag and an extra set of strings. [s]Asking for GBP1650[/s] Will consider any offer, buyer pays shipping. (so you get to specify the insurance amount and swiftness) Shipping from Finland, so no customs or VATs for EU shipping addresses.

nobodysprefect Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 'I'm not even a man!' 'Nobody's perfect' That, and I've come to consider it an empirical fact that nobody really is perfect, there a blemish in every one of us. The typo is mine. Kidding! I did it on purpose so it's not a blemish. Guess I really *am* purrrfect after all. Sorry about the bad humour. A quote from Marilyn movie and supposed to be funny because it's misspelled.
