I am enlightened with your attention to detail after viewing this, and reinforce’s my decision to purchase another bass from you, I own an AC 5 I love it , it works so well with my upright playing, and looking forward to receiving my BN5 sometime soon, keep up the good work through these testing times, regards; James H. Kirk.
Hi George, I love that video clip. I played many great fretless basses, MTD, Fodera, Warwick, and the like, but NONE, and I do mean NONE, has the SOUND and FEEL like a AC6 fretless. I'm saving my money now so I can OWN one. (I might called it a ETP6) You and Alain (I love his work) created a Masterpiece! Love that bass!
Hi alexeyzavolokin, we will do a video comparing the two at some point but in the meantime.... Ash/maple is brighter than the smoother alder/rosewood combo. Ash will emphasize the high and low end (with slightly scooped mids) whereas alder has more of a midrange presence and is more even across the eq spectrum. Hope this helps your decision!
Awesome guy, amazing bass's! I am fortunate to have a guitar made by George that I would never part with. It is 30 years old now, sounds great and plays great!
It was our pleasure Hakulanni : ) The fretless with the upright tone is our AC-Classic model. Details, specs, and photos can be found on our fbass.com website. We have eight AC-Classic videos on our UA-cam channel (some with better quality than others) and one with Alain Caron himself explaining his custom version. Our dealer in Florida is Bass Central UA-cam won't allow me to post links so if you have any other questions feel free to email me at marcel@fbass.com. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the Tour... I was invited to your video by Virpotaajs. Do you have a video that demonstrates the fret-less bass you showed in the tour that sounds just like an acoustic? If not, is there any way you can show us the bass in a bit more detail? I'd love to hear its sound and know about it. While you're at it, any Dealers in South Florida area?
Man I really hope you have a modern monitored fire alarm system,it would be terrible if all that beautiful wood went up in flames,not to mention the shop & all those gorgeous basses.❤️
Great sound! Can you please make a video comparing VF models made of ash/maple with alder/rosewood? So I still can't decide what sound is better, and what bass to order...
Looks like exceptional work all the way around. Why did you not play the one that was supposed to sound like an acoustic bass? I like hearing the unique tones, not just seeing the unique workmanship, I wish I lived closer, I would stop by..
Hey there, we use our F Bass exposed-core strings (made for us by LaBella, they're very similar to their Super Steps) on our BN's and Fretlesses. We use DR Nickel Low Riders on our VF's made with Rosewood fingerboards and DR Steel Fat Beams on VF's made with Maple fingerboards.
I tried out a five string bass F once about 10 years ago, I still have a sore shoulder bass weighing at least 5 kg which is almost two kilograms too much! Are all F basses that heavy
Hey @pleximanic, while it's true that we are fans of the tone a medium-heavy bass produces (our favourite clocking in at around 9.75lbs), we offer lighter weight basses upon request....achievable through wood and hardware options. For further details you can reach us directly by phone or email. www.fbass.com/company/contact
Typical North canadian 'Ambiance'.... not one note of music in a shop where people working all day building Musical instruments... 😶 Reminds me a little the Russian 'Polivoks' factory....

George is such a great guy, his basses really are second to none.
Натхнення і вдачі , у виробництві та продажу гарних музичних інструментів !
This video made it even easier to pull the trigger on one of these amazing basses!
You guys do a fantastic job making these wonderful instruments. Well done! Love F basses.
Great intro you playing your own bass and nice tone and playing.thank you
That Jazz is sooo beautiful!!! 😍 I’d love to have a F bass!!!
Great tour, George. I still remember my personal tour some years ago. All the best.
that's so awesome. I wish I worked here, I live 10 minutes away!
George give me a job I'll do anything! :D
This refreshes my eyes after watching all the CNC crap factories that Gibson or other over priced corporate brands use. Loved it!
Awesome job on the video tour. Almost as good as being there...but less chance of getting drool on the basses!
The AC Classic sounds INCREDIBLE! Love that bass.
I ordered an F Bass AC6 about a month ago...cant wait to get me hands on it. Awesome behind the scenes video.

I would love to get my hands on any of these basses, in fact 1 of every kind :P variety is the spice of life!

amped watching FBass shop tour having seen a job posting. I would leave Les Godfrey as my solo reference as to my suitability.
What bass was used in making the sound track for this video? Model plus fingerboard and body woods please. ;-) Thank you
Hey Mishbass, the intro/backing track was recorded with a VF5 with a Maple Fingerboard and an Ash body.
I agree that Alain Caron is EASILY ONE OF THE BASSISTS ON THE PLANET!!! Rich Brown is another WORLD-CLASS BASSISTS!!!
Do you make neck thru basses ?
Hey Roderick, we sure do! Feel free to contact us to discuss: fbass.com/contact/
1 day I would like a bass for jazz/funk, slap capable in 4 string.
What kind of strings do you put on your basses ?

The shop is at about the southern most point of Canada and there's no music because a videographer is documenting their process.
George always looks like he's just used a joint of canadian legal weed.......
