Our first single "mosh" is out now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp! Links in bio.

We couldn't be more proud to finally put this music out into the world. We worked very hard for very long to get this done, and it's a relief that we can finally direct you somewhere when we get the inevitable "where can I hear your music online?" question after our shows.

We hope you enjoy, thank you for listening and supporting. More to come soon :)

Introducing the F Bass VI!

Over the years players have been asking us to make guitars again, well, this is how we build a guitar…as a bass.

There’s plenty of confusion surrounding this re-emerging classic as it occupies its own space between a guitar and a bass. While tuned EADGBE like a guitar, it’s tuned an octave down with heavier gauge strings and built upon a 30″ scale length.

While there’s much to love about the famed original, we’ve made key improvements throughout to improve the tone, playability, stability and so much more. To learn more visit: www.fbass.com

The F Bass VI was conceived over four years ago, so we’re thrilled the secret is finally out as we’ve been bursting with excitement for far too long!

Still eternally grateful to the big man Shaun Martin for unexpectedly having me on the bandstand during NAMM at @ctmonitors this past January. I was shitting myself when he told me about 5 minutes before, not gunna lie 😂 I got a feeling that NAMM might not happen next year, but...you down to do this again in 2021 if it does @shunwun?

29! A bit of a delayed birthday post. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little melancholy about entering the last year of my 20s. But I feel very blessed to have a life with wonderful friends & family, work that I feel passionate about, and goals that I can continue to strive towards.

It's been nice to be a bit detached from my phone and notifications, but thank you for all the birthday wishes. See y'all in a year's time for my 30th -- put the party in your calendar well in advance 😂

3rd time visiting Japan, but this time was particularly special 🫶🏾

Halloween was fun 😂🦖

Toronto! We're playing this Friday for Halloween at @tapestry_to with support from our friend @bobbyshawmusic. Come out and catch us to celebrate the release of our first single!

We will be in costume, and hopefully celebrating a Blue Jays Game 6 victory 💙🇨🇦

We're excited to announce that the full F Bass VI Tone Guide is now live on YouTube!

In this final Instagram clip, we opted for an arpeggiated chord progression to make the Bass VI sound as close to a guitar as possible. Using the exceptionally clean middle pickup from @lollarpickups with the tone knob at 100%, we found that this sound is perfectly clean, articulate, and responsive to fingerstyle guitar parts.

All four clips that we posted on Instagram are contained within the full tone guide on YouTube, as well as a bonus clip with the Bass VI handling some dirt/distortion. Head over to our YouTube channel to check it out!

And finally, a massive thank you to our good friend @larnelllewismusic for lending his hand to these Bass VI videos. The Bass VI is a unique instrument with unlimited tonal possibilities, and Larnell is a drummer that captures that spirit to a tee on the drumkit. It was our honour to introduce this instrument with him onboard for the release and demo videos, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Happy tone hunting!

Welcome to the F Bass VI Tone Guide!

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing demos to showcase the different sounds that the Bass VI is capable of. Our good friend @larnelllewismusic was incredibly kind to lend his hand to these videos so that you can hear the Bass VI in a musical context with drums. Couldn't imagine a better person for the job!

In this first clip, we went for a more traditional "burpy" bass tone, with the bridge pickup solo'd. We opted for a darker sound here with the tone knob almost rolled all the way off, but you can easily achieve a more articulate bitey sound with the tone rolled back up.

The beauty of the Bass VI is that it blurs the line between bass and guitar — we're excited to dig into some sounds that walk the line a bit more in the coming weeks.

July Dump 1 - Bangladesh

It was amazing to come back to my homeland after 11 long years. So many complicated emotions involved with coming here, it's often a bit overwhelming for me to try and put into words. But I have so much gratitude to see the land that my blood comes from.

Bangladesh is full of some of the toughest, funniest, and emotionally charged people I've ever seen. I feel blessed to come from a beautiful place with such passionate and resilient people. And I'm beyond grateful to see the places and people that carved my parents into the incredible people that they are.

I hope that as I come to my home in Canada, I never forget to feed the fiery spirit in my blood that is Bangla. I wouldn't exist without that flame.
