F Bass / BN5 5 String Swamp Ash / 2000 / Bass For Sale

Canadian-based boutique bass builder F Bass has been known for years for its impeccable craftsmanship and innovative designs. Founded by luthier George Furlanetto, the brand has gained cult status among professional bassists worldwide. The BN series combines classic elements with modern technology and has since become one of the most respected bass models in the music industry. This BN5 from 2000 represents the period in which F Bass firmly established its reputation for exceptional instruments. This five-string BN5 is built with a carefully selected swamp ash body that not only looks impressive with its natural grain, but also contributes to the bright attack and defined sustain. The three-piece maple neck with maple fingerboard offers a fast, comfortable playing experience thanks to the C-profile and flat 12" radius. The 34.5" scale length provides a solid B-string with great definition and punch, while the body offers enough resonance for warm, round tones. The swamp ash pickup covers are not only a beautiful aesthetic detail, but also protect the electronics for years of reliability. This bass guitar was owned by the highly respected bassist Bert Veldkamp, who was born in Zwolle in 1952 but grew up in Groningen. He played in various bands in his younger years until he joined the famous Dutch band Kayak in 1974, with which he scored several hits and even toured America. Veldkamp used this specially built F Bass in his later musical projects, such as Soultrain and De Stroatklinkers. In the latter band he played with our own Adrian Farmer, among others, and remained active on stage until his death in 2024. A true enthusiast and a true musician! The bass has been played a lot over the years, and this can be seen from the traces on the pickups, body and neck. It is a reliable and versatile instrument for the professional musician, and deserves to shine on stage for a long time to come as a tribute to Bert Veldkamp! Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
