Founded by luthier George Furlanetto, Canadian-based boutique bass builder F Bass has been known for years for its impeccable craftsmanship and innovative designs with the brand has gaining cult status among professional bassists worldwide.
With the finest materials and craftsmanship, innovative design and painstaking attention to detail every F Bass is one of the finest basses you’ll play.
This BN5 dates from 2007 and comes to us from the original owner.
It is all original and in very good condition. It was played and thus, shows some minor marks and dings. The worst is the wear spot beside the pickup and some wear on the back of the neck. Everything else is quite small and hard to see unless you look closely.
The frets are in great shape with only minor wear. There’s lots of life yet on them.
Functionally, everything plays and works as it should.
This is a beautiful sounding and playing F Bass!
