From 4 to 5-string bass with the Fbass VF5
A little talk about playing a 5 string while Introducing my latest bass, the Canadian built “Fbass VF5″ 5-string electric bass guitar with an additional “playing ramp” installed for easier application of the right hand 3 or 4 finger plucking technique (Matt Garrison, Damian Erskine, Gary Willis.. ao) Sweet sound and great playability:-)

GOOOOGLE
Who can dislike this genius? you are one of my inspirations.

The bottom string (: it’s a B0 tuned to 30.87hz (approximately 10 herz below the lowest note possible on a 4 string… the note is also simply known as thunder in the groin (:
hvis man vil have det meste ud af en 5-strenget er man altså nød til at se på det som en helhed :b den 5. er ikke en ekstra streng, den er en del af ens spil på samme måde som de andre 4, ellers bliver det jo netop til en 4 strenget med vedhæng x_x..
so which is the estra string the one in the top or the one in the bottom?
When the time comes, I’m thinking of purchasing your model of FBass. 34″ or 35″ scale?
miguel bose bass does not play badly jajaja
Really like your vids:) but couldent you get a microphone please, so we don`t have to turn up and down the volume all the time, when you talk it almost impossible to hear what you say.
Please give me the width
of your nut on that Canadian
built Fbass VF5″(in millimeters)
I have the 2010 Fender American
deluxe Jazz Bass V, and the neck
is just too wide for my hands. I have
someone that will narrow the width
at the nut for me, but i’m not sure
where to start and I like the narrow
look that i’m seeing on that bass.
Thank you for your help!!!!!
what happen your 6-string basse you had in some of older clips. You got rid of it?
I always ask myself, how can people go without an extra B string?
bet you’ve never had anyone ask about your glasses before..lol
@samboy25niner
You could always just buy a six string set and toss the low B. Or sell it. You may need to change the nut on your bass though.
Also Fbass basses are cool! I’m currently in the market for a custom high end bass and these are towards the top for sure.
No, not really, as I just play my 4 string licks with a extra deep note once in a while
do you gravitate to a different key when you play 5-string bass licks?
i think it would probably snap just under the tension
could u just tune the top string to E and have all the other ones ascending normally so u can have an extra high string instead of low string if u wanted?
Cool bass face!
Great to see you with an F MarloweDK! Pretty much the best basses on the planet IMHO. Your VF sounds tremendous by the way.
