INTRODUCTIONS
F BASS WILL DEBUT its VF-5 five-string bass at NAMM. Aimed at
broadening the customer base for F Bass dealers, the VF-5 accurately
captures the vibe and feel of classic '60s and '70s basses but
with the modern advantages of easy access to the higher frets, an
onboard preamp, and a solid low B string. It is designed to appeal to
players who prefer a more traditional sound and feel compared with F
Bass's more modern-design instruments.
