What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

A wonderfully modern bass for the modern player. Rock solid construction combined with deftly carved curves allowing easy access up and down the entire length of the neck make this one ideal for the player who likes to take full advantage of all 22 frets! The 3-band active pre-amp in concert with F Bass's stacked single-coil pickups can get you glistening hi-fi solo tones and thundering 5-string bliss all in a hum-free configuration!

Manufacturer's Description from Other

The BN series is the product of 40+ years of F Bass evolution. While it has roots stemming from the original Jazz Bass, it has slowly morphed into our signature sound, feel, and look. The BN series’ voice leans heavily on the wood choices and design of the instrument itself, with the electronics designed to simply enhance those attributes, rather than colour them. The F Bass pickups and preamp are natural & transparent though offer the flexibility of a modern active bass. The result is a big yet controlled bottom end, a rich punchy midrange, and a high end that is articulate yet sweet. We’re often asked how our BN series differs from our VF series—the BN is a bigger yet more refined and “polite” tone that can still get plenty aggressive when asked.
