It's the feel of these boutique basses that sets them apart, for me. The 'standard' BN5 models look and sound epic but I couldn't even justify the cost of those at $5k. Huge respect to FBass and other small, family run manufacturers for what they do, they set the bar so high, it makes the mass producers up their game. Happy to stick with my Sire/Squier etc lol 😀
@@davidmariorodrigues Yes indeed how could I forget .. I have one. Look up this builder, St Germaine basses, a small shop building absolutely beautiful basses.
@@peekaboo4390 HOLY CROW! These look great! Do you own one? Next time I'm down on a Halifax Pier, I'm going to have to check them out (and maybe walk out with one of them!!)
I am a massive fan of Fbass. I now have my 2nd BN5. 2nd because I stupidly let my first one go when I had the gas for something else that was also pricey. My current BN5 is a Chestnut top on a Swamp Ash body with a birds-eye fretboard on the maple neck. It is a custom order bass and also it has a piezo pickup in the bridge and a chestnut top matched ramp. Truly 1 of a kind. To date, whenever I gig this bass someone comes to ask what it is and tell me how great it sounds. And that is in the Nashville area, so fairly rare to have the locals enquiring or giving praise. These are top tier instruments and deserve way more recognition that they already get.
Talk about a clear tone! NICE! There are some really pricey basses that do not deliver on tone. But this one does. Listen to how clear the low end is on this bass.
I'm a bass player and I've vowed to name my next child Yamaha. My main is 5 string BB and I honestly cannot imagine changing it as my go to. I don't think there's q more comfortable P style neck. Ironically here in South Africa yamaha are very well regarded guitars, in the bass world they're a benchmark,The others you mentioned are unkown, I dont even think they're available.
Heheh in time ;P. F Bass has been on my list too forever. I still remember seeing a used 5 string fretless for 1900 at a local music shop about a decade and a half ago.... If I could only get that damn flux capacitor working!
@@LowEndLobster Dude, flux that capacitor !. Go back to 1983 and buy all the early strats and telecasters, basses etc. Oh, they used to cost 200 bucks. ! Now, we are talking 15-20, g's
Sorry, but I can’t get passed the price. You should review some Mayones basses. The quality and sound are as good as anything out there and your money goes a lot farther in Poland!
Scott Devine from SBL is an F Bass guy. Nice instruments. Pricey! The contrast with Hard Luck Kings gear is striking! I guess F Bass doesn't need to cut out the middle man... 😂
I had an opportunity to try 2 VF5-Js (one alder/rosewood with 60s pickup spacing and one ash/maple with 70s spacing). Both were STELLAR. Mr Furnaletto was probably the first one to make a 5-string Jazz-like bass with a B string which sounds like the rest (others usually had a B string that sounded duller and a bit louder or quieter than other strings). And that buid quality... wow. Just wow. Absolutely killer basses. Wish I could afford one.
What I think makes "F Bass" so good is consistently they put out the same bass and it is GREAT! Yes they do that wonderful fretless, but for the most part they use one platform and it is really good, in the same way we still compare everything to the "P Bass" we will hold "f Bass" as the standard of the modern bass sound IMHO. I want one and I live in Buffalo, their only a couple hours away!
Your cats always show up when a bass is really amazing! They only offer ebony fretboards in fretless ~ I wonder it cutting frets into ebony is difficult. Mac ebony isn't the same~
I got to go visit their HQ at the end of July. Such nice people there! Just a note on pricing. Their models start at around $4400 USD pre tax and shipping.
For that price I would want the bass to have a way to magically make up for my own technical shortcomings as a player, but since I know that's not a possibility… well, I think it does just about as much as someone could expect. Looks and sounds incredible. Also seems to bring out some "stank face" we do not normally get from Lobster! :D
I own an F bass and you wouldn't believe how incredibly reactive the thing is. It's truly unbelievable until you try it yourself. 100% a professional bass and 100% worth every penny.
THAT is one sweet bass!! Great to see you get so giddy over that excellent instrument. And I detected a bit of stank-face during the finger-style passages! Nice!!!
What a beast! Huge respect for F bass. A little too foofy for my punk rock sensibilities but I'd happily listen to Lobster or any other good player take this thing around the block
Great sounding bass , same level as Le Fay , Marleaux or MLP e.g...But you dont have to spent so much money if you dont like or are able to . Sire , Cort or Ibanez nowadays are building great budget basses .But this one for sure is one of the best and versatile sounding jazz basses I ever heard in the last 50 years..! Amazing , even the optical factor!
I know this has nothing to do with this particular bass, but I recently found a bass from a company called "Kent". It's called a Jetstar, is from November 1965, tobacco burst, all mahogany body, chrome guards everywhere, even an all-chrome pick-guard. I can't find another like it ANYWHERE online. It has some nice wear, and is complete. I need help valuing it, or just any info would be awesome, and as a long-time viewer, I figured maybe you and your lobster-knowledge could help...I found one that was similar, but not all mahogany and beat the hell up that sold for 1,500$, "for parts only" with a plastic pick guard...Mine just needed the action lowered, some strings, and the pots cleaned. Oh, and it's extremely heavy lol....any info would be cool. P.S. it's even got the original "Made in Japan" sticker, which is also intact, almost mint. It also reminds me of a Jaguar bass shape more than a P Bass or Jazz Bass shape and has an all black Fender-shaped headstock with a gold "K" on it. I'm lost honestly.....I only paid a guy 30 bucks for it at my local flea market, so I'm sure I got a steal
Ash bodied basses do seem to run heavier. Beautiful bass though both in looks and sound! Scott Devine of Scott's Bass Lessons "banana" bass is a 5 string F bass. I think I remember on one of his recent podcasts he deemed that his "desert island" bass if he had to keep only one. Lobster is gassing for a F fretless! I think Scott has one of those too? Now on to a video featuring your Donny Benet T-shirt collection!!
I think I accidentally cut out the bit where I mentioned this is a custom spec. They are usually 34.5" scale and 19mm spacing but this one was custom ordered with 34" scale and 18mm spacing.
@@LowEndLobster i have a very similar one although it's quite different :))) same woods 34.5 with PJ in the 60s configuration and alleva coppolo pickups
Mike Lull makes a boutique shorty P-bass, I am really interested in what that thing sounds like. I have seen you review the short scales, good job because they are good too sometimes.
Glad to see a five string review. And… so expensive. While this is not a truly a “Fender style” instrument in the copy sense, there is something about this that that is close enough in inspiration and execution to Fender Jazz Basses that it seems like a LOT of money, versus the exact same thing but neck through made out of high gloss exotic woods at that same price where that same price might seem a bit more reasonable.
Yea Lobster I’m big fan of your channel I wasn’t trying to dis the F Bass but I got the same Aguilar pickups and OBP3 preamp in high grade swamp Ash and one piece maple neck with Birds Eye fretboard and I didn’t have to pay 5 to 10K Bro and it’s got tone for days nothing against boutique basses but at the end of the day the tone comes from the hands that play it
As a Bass player and fortunate reviewer. Is there anything you'd like to improve controversial or not(on this and al basses). Me as a noob for sure. I have an entire different "tuning" system in mind. So far the best bass for me is G&L L2000
It’s expensive for a bass guitar but just a beginner upright price I think the diminishing returns on a guitar aren’t as justified for a boutique versus a upright if you had to pick one though, guess that’s why Stanley clarkes bass is so expensive he’s probably used to that as a upright bass player
it seems to me, most basses have a lot of tone options that you probably will never use, take my bass for example 90% of the time the knobs are turned up all the way, If I turn any of them down too much it sounds bad. During your testing I notice this as you cover the tonal range of each bass, seems like a passive bass makes more sense, the tone is in the correct range even though it might not be "versatile", usually I go for a full or balanced tone anyways, not sure who needs these dark or super bright tones, and for what song ?.
I work in a music store and we are fbass dealers, it doesn’t cost $9k, one like that y more around $5.8-6 max, hope your friend didn’t pay $9k if not is a total scam hehe
Couldn't help but notice how the outline of this F Bass VF5-J resembles the very budget friendly Harley Benton JP-450P. Here's a wacky idea. How about totally tricking out the Harley (pickups, preamp, hardware) and putting it up against the F Bass to see if it can give the F Bass just a little run for its money?
It is unclear from the video what is so nice and special about this bass. Good sound, yes. No doubt about the build quality, the components, the playability and the looks. But I do have a lot of doubts if it worth the money. If you want something special, OK. But compared to quality basses from e.g. Ibanez or Yamaha the tone (in particular with EQ) is not distuingishable from boutique basses. Or does this bass better on e.g. dead spot, low B tone, better humpf-attack, warmer sound, etc
I’m sure it feels great. But $8000 for that? 🙄 idk, I’ve heard (& played) $600-$700 Jbasses that sound just as good or better than that. 🤷🏼♂️ A Testament to the Overhyped guitar market since 1993
Yeah, I love my used MIM Fenders and Tribute G&L basses, most of which I bought for $350 to $400. Some day maybe I'll be able and willing to pay thousands for a bass, but until then I'll remember Jaco played a Fender. He may have even got it used.
F-bass makes some really beautiful Basses... Very expensive... For me a thoroughly massaged Harley Benton makes more sense. I have owned some high end Basses from Moonstone to Cirrus but no more. Now days you can get some really great instruments for a lot less money...
Very cool looking bass, but you simply cannot convince me that its anything more than an exercise in diminishing returns. Even 3-5k gets you into the territory of an amazing jazz bass, but almost 10? That's quite excessive.
Yeh but the days of me paying over 2 grand for a bass are ohhhhhver. And I’m sure this is +4000 range. It’s nice but not that much better than what I can find in the 2000 range🤷🏾
It’s $7000. But that’s because it has many, many upgrades. You can bump off several thousand bucks if you just order a base model. Still a bit pricey tho. But F-Bass is second to none. Quality and feel can only be understood by those who held and played them.
TBH, sounds very generic (not sure I could tell it apart from a Squier P-bass at 6:30). Also has a lot of fret buzz, maybe someone should've fixed the action before the demo.

The Fbass Alain Caron model is one of my bucket list basses.
F-Bass straight out of the Hammer baby 🇨🇦
Really really nice, as a Canadian I have to say we do make some great bass gear, Empress, Dingwall, St Germaine. Radial, F bass, Traynor.

First F I saw was a UZEB bar gig at the Rivoli, Toronto 1981.
I had no idea the price is so high for F Basses. I guess I should not be surprised given inflation. Congrats to anyone who can afford one.
This particular one has a lot of high dollar upgrades including the ridiculous fingerboard. It's truly a thing of beauty
I have been eyeing this exact bass for a long time, but it's $$$$.
One of the few boutique brands that I think are worth the price tag.
Sounds 🔥🔥🔥

Fbass been around since 1978, amazing people to deal with.
I just love how he laughs after playing each line.
Don't worry about it. The 80's seem like only 20 years ago to a lot of us.

@@donaldrobidoux4862 Sure, it's fun. And within the financial means of most.
