{"product_id":"858684","title":"F-bass BN5 Alder body (Evergreen Gloss with Black Hardware)","description":"It's been about two and a half years since the order was placed! This BN5, featuring an alder body, is finished in Ever Green and finished with black hardware for a refined design. This custom-ordered item has finally arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Led by George Farlanet, a leading Canadian luthier, F-bass is a select group of handmade bass guitar makers whose instruments have established a unique and original style while maintaining a feel similar to a jazz bass. As high-quality 5-string basses, they have gained immense popularity among top players worldwide, regardless of genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While BN basses are often made with ash bodies, this particular instrument was ordered with a lightweight alder solid body, weighing just under 4kg for a 5-string bass at 3.91kg.\u003cbr\u003e Featuring a 34.5-inch three-piece quarter-sawn maple neck and original pickups and preamp, this bass delivers a solid low end and deep midrange, producing a sweet, enveloping sound not only for rhythm playing but also for solo performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The rich, full low B note and the moderate compression that brings it together are incredibly pleasing. This is an excellent instrument that achieves a well-balanced, traditional sound that pays homage to Fender, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's a model that can always become the main bass for bassists of all styles.\u003cbr\u003e Our custom-ordered models feature a Master Volume + Balancer control scheme instead of two Volume controls, making them ideal for both band members and studio musicians looking for a user-friendly setup for live performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The evergreen color chosen for this instrument, an earth tone, means \"evergreen tree,\" and because its leaves never wither throughout the year, it has come to be used as slang for \"never going out of style,\" \"always fresh and timeless,\" and \"not subject to trends.\" It will surely become a deeply meaningful companion for musicians as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In recent years, the number of these items imported into Japan has become extremely small, so many people may not have had the opportunity to actually see and touch them. Don't miss this chance!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *The balancer's drive direction is the same as Sadowsky, with clockwise rotation for the rear and counterclockwise rotation for the front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e■Body: Alder - Gloss Lacquer Finish\u003cbr\u003e ■Neck: 3pc.
