F-Series Bass
Browsing the intrewebs I came upon this F-Series bass. Never heard of this, but perchance you guys know more?

Real, or possible a PW/DF creation?
Maybe, a Mike Lull creation? John Fay has/had a 4000 recreation, made by Mike, with a with nicely flamed maple body that has a similar finish on it.
That photo of the F-series guitar looks like a post-mortem!

Nope, don't think I've ever seen that.
Re: F-Series Bass
Fantastic top, I bet that's a custom body.
Looks like a 4000 neck right?
Whoever did it, did a great job, it doesn't at all look like a parts build.
It has to be fairly recent as the body binding is all way too fresh white to be any kind of vintage body.
The biggest question would be how does it feel and sound?

I tired google image search but found only a bunch of pinterests of the same image. As such it then remains a miraculous thing although kind of pretty

Re: F-Series Bass
Not a real Rickenbacker.
This was built from scratch, such an instrument never existed in the original F-model era(s).

Looking at that photo reminded me of this, the one that Mike Lull built years ago.
Re: F-Series Bass
I'd guess it isn't Ric. Perhaps ask the guys on the rickenfakers facebook group?

Now if the pickguard shape were different I'd like it. The pickguard shape's plain simpy weirdjps wrote:Looking at that photo reminded me of this, the one that Mike Lull built years ago.

Perhaps, but true to form!

Re: F-Series Bass
Yeah, it's really nice.
Re: F-Series Bass
Nice looking bass. I wish I had that kind of talent.
I'd like to see better pictures of the headstock., Cant really tell if it has a paddle headstock or the cresting wave.
