Treat yourself to this bass, and you won’t regret it!

This bass produces a thick rich sound reminiscent of a good vintage tone with a sweet rather than harsh high end; however, retaining the ability to cut through a mix. The addition of the very natural sounding preamp allows for variability towards more modern sounds.

The two separate volumes allow you to blend the two pickups in any amount of each, not limiting you to the fixed levels of a blend control. The passive tone control functions whether in passive or active mode enabling it to modify a different set of frequencies than the ones affected by the active tone controls.

The BN6 in particular has an extremely sleek feel and is one of the easiest six string basses to play. These fretted basses are well balanced standing or sitting and are a joy to play.

Fibenare Global Bolt-on 5-String Bass – Poplar Burl Top, Flame Maple Neck – HSC

http://www.fretspot.com/?p=3909

Three brothers make up the Fibenare team. They make everything in-house, by hand! In addition to the woodworking, they make their own pickups, preamps, bridge – even the case! The case is the best case I’ve seen coming with a boutique bass – made of strong but lightweight fiberglass, it offers lots of protection in an easy to carry format.

The bass is an amazing instrument! The second you pick it up the quality of the workmanship is apparent. Everything fits together perfectly, and feels sooooo gooooood!

The electronics sound amazing! In addition to the volume and blend, and bass-mid-treble controls, you also have an active/passive switch, and then two coil selection switches that allow you to choose between series, parallel, or single coil.

“M” Bass Bass Clef Inlay, Yin Yang AWESOME!

http://www.fretspot.com/?p=4047

This sexy beast is a recent trade, and it is really cool! If it was a 5-string, I’d keep it for myself! But since it’s not, you can have a crack at it. :D

It has a Claro Walnut top with a Maple bass clef inlay. The neck is maple, with a birdseye maple fingerboard. And the body is a gorgeous piece of Mahogany.

The pick ups are M Bass hand wound custom pickups made by Jon Maghini. Sports an Aguilar OBP3 18V preamp, and this baby is hot!

There is a slight ding in the middle of the back of the neck (see pictures).

Includes a FLIGHT CASE – so she is ready to travel the world! :D
