Members RSBro Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 Good LORD that is sexx!! Besides a Ritter, the F-Bass is next on my "boutique" bass list to try out. Tom Hamilton has a kickass 5 string he recorded most of Aerosmith's 90's records with. And the Alain Caron sig is wow. Jugghaid had a "zebra" 5'er a few years ago and that pic still gets me all moist!! :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spark Posted October 21, 2010 Members Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have largely lost interest in boutique basses...but F Bass is one of the exceptions. I looooooove the body shapes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yarbicus Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Beautiful! Easily among the best looking, best sounding, and best feeling basses being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Is that the color its gonna be. Or is that just primer coat? I hope it turns out to be a great bass for you. F basses are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spark Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 So what are you into these days? Mainly more traditional stuff. Still madly in love with my Hamer Cruise Basses. Those are my two faves by a long shot. Liking my 'Ray for a particular sound, but overall I don't think it suits me quite as well as the Hamers. I keep thinking I should sell it, but then I play it and it stays a bit longer . There is a certain sexiness in a Stingray that no other bass quite has. As I think you are aware. I've been enjoying the old Peavey Foundation I got a little while back. Need to get a truss rod tool for it, but it really is a terrific bass. As for basses I don't have (yet), I've really been digging the Squier VM P-bass and the new Schecter Diamond P. I actually have liked the Squier better than the MIA and MIM P-basses last few times I test drove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 If that Diamond P is the one with the humbucker in the bridge position, that bass rocked my world the other day. At $500 bucks, I damn near bought it right then & there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $500 bucks, I damn near bought it right then & there. Yup, it's pretty sweet! Reminds me of the Fender US Deluxe P I had a few years back, but with a narrower neck.

Members RoboChrist Posted November 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 Here's a quick shot I took of it indim light conditions of a Canadian fall afternoon of my apartment. It's hard to see but the finish is quite striking, a pearl root beer colour that changes to shades of maroon and purple, depending on the light conditions. As far as the sound, it is several shades of holy {censored} this thing is awesome. Seriously, it's like a hammer from Valhalla. lovin' it!

Members Flogger59 Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 "Frock", as he liked to be called then, makes a very nice bass. I still remember Alain Caron coming into the store where I worked with his new 6 string piccolo fretless, plugging into a Rockman, and going nuts for a 1/2 hour. Apparently George uses knotting needles as position markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
