Back around 2000, maybe 2001, I had picked up the F-204 and played countless shows across the country. This sucker had the fastest neck, meanest tone and looks that were beyond menacing. 

Unfortunately, while planning a tour as an opener for a classic Metal band that has had an insane influence on me, our band broke up due to infighting. In a deep depression, I sold my beloved F bass.....and it was an instant regret. A few days after, I went back to the store to get it back, but it was gone. 

Now, all these years later, after endorsements with other brands and owning custom built instruments, I keep missing my old F bass. 

Can anyone tell me if they still build them like they used to? I've given up hope of finding my old one and my band is currently working to reschedule our canceled 2020 tour.

They're pretty hard to find, but some are still around. I got one from 2002 if you're interested.

I've had my F-204 since late 2018 and it is by far my favorite bass I have ever played. Feels and looks super nice, and plays great. Highly recommend!

Do all the F200s have those lines down the neck?
