F Bass is a bass guitar manufacturer based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, founded by luthier George Furlanetto in 1978. Furlanetto began his career restoring instruments at a local music shop in the late 1960s and '70s before developing his own designs focused on extended-range instruments, fast action, and discreet wooden pickup covers. The company grew from small workshops into a 5,000 square foot facility on McKinstry Street in 1986, and remains family-owned and operated, with George's son Marcel helping carry on the business.

The brand is known for handcrafted four-, five-, and six-string basses built in small batches, with core model lines including the BN Series, Deluxe BN Series, VF Series, AC Classic, AC Signature, and the F Bass VI. F Bass instruments are favored by session and touring players, and the company's roster of endorsing artists has included bassists associated with Snarky Puppy, Incubus, Broken Social Scene, Feist, Big Wreck, and Monster Truck, among others. F Bass also offers a custom Bass Builder service for made-to-order specifications.

F Bass has 19 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses, Fretless Basses, and Mandolins. Their gear is featured by 20 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Jazz, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Saya Gray, Michael League, and Charles Spearin.
