Here are some photo's of my custom FBass BN6, proudly built in Hamilton, Ontario by George Furlanetto. I was told by George that It would take 9 months to build. He then contacted me six weeks after I made my deposit, and sent me these photos of my bass nearly complete!! It will have taken 9 weeks instead of 9 months!! Bravo everyone at FBass.

Here are pictures of the finished product on Aug 24th 07'. This bass is truly a masterpiece by a group of master luthiers, and is well worth it's high price tag. I am completely blown away by the craftsmanship, and baffled by it's excellent performance. So fast, comfortable and resonant. Beautiful!
