Cool thanks ill just call and say i want the same exact bass!!

Do you let anyone play it?

I would love to try it out in a few weeks hehe..

It is the most beautiful yin yang I've ever seen.. second being the purple heart which you have also

I'll let any bassist play my bass. I have a lot of nice expensive basses but I'm not a bass snob.

My other Yin Yang is Walnut/Birdseye maple. It's awesome. There are only 3 yin yang Imperials. I have 2 of them. The 1st and last. The 2nd one built was inspired by my 1st one.

Anthony --

Thanks so much for the kind words! BTW, you know that we are a full custom shop, you should have just asked for the Halle Berry option!!

LOL

Be well Athony....

Everywhere we go I pull it out and people, bass player and non-bass players, just lose their minds. The details are amazing.

The only way I could be luckier is if Halle Berry wanted to hook up and showed up with a Fodera Yin Yang Imperial fretless with the same woods but in opposite position. Wow! That just gave me the idea for my next Fodera,...and Halle Berry(but I can't share that thought here).

The guys and girls at Fodera are amazing. We know Vinnie and Joey are. But everyone there is amazing.

peace,

Amazing, absolutely amazing.
Enjoy, and I'm sure it'll look great on stage as well.

That is an awesome instrument. Looks stunning!

Ant Wellington · #47 08-16-2012, 08:47 PM

Thanks! I agree!!!

Kermin VH · #48 09-09-2012, 08:09 PM

Amazing bass, my man! I'm kinda surprised no one else on here has asked you yet, but what was the motivating factor in getting a six?

Ant Wellington · #49 09-10-2012, 05:39 AM

Yo Kermin,

It was really simple. I have two 4 string Foderas. I have four 5 string Foderas. I didn't have any 6 string Foderas. And I had the idea of doing it in buckeye for a long time.

peace,
anthony

Cool cool. I'm always interested in why someone chooses a particular configuration; whether it's for playing a specific style of music, or just for more note options for soloing, greater options for arpeggios, etc.

I started to play 5's predominantly because the band I was in was a metal band using 7 string guitars, and I wanted to be able to play along with them without being limited to hitting unison notes when I was playing the same line as the guitarists. Now, though, a 4 just feels... well, small to me.

6's have always felt kinda big for me personally, but as the old saying goes, different strokes for different folks.

Glad you're digging your new baby; hopefully I'll get to see you play it at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC on Nov. 5th! I honestly can't think of anyone off hand that could better exploit a sixer than you, sir! Hope things are going well for you. Take it easy, man!

Thanks K,

I love Asheville! Malaprops is my favorite bookstore in the whole country!

Do you have any videos of you playing the new 6-string? i would love to hear how it sounds.

Ant Wellington · #53 09-11-2012, 02:58 PM

I don't. As a rule I don't film myself playing. Just the Christmas videos. All of the other videos of me in YouTube were put up by others.

I'm sure there are some videos of me playing that bass because I used it on 1 or 2 songs every night.

Definitely one of my favorite sounding basses. I'm a fan of ebony fretboards now. I can definitely hear the difference.

I just saw this and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!(imaging flavor flav saying it).

Ant Wellington · #57 11-01-2012, 08:13 PM

Yea BOYEEEEEE!!!

I'm wondering: when on tour how do you travel with your basses? When you fly do you carry any of your basses onboard with you or do they go below in the hold?

Ant Wellington · #59 11-02-2012, 11:22 PM

For tour I travel Reunion Blues double gig bag. I bring the bag on the plane with me. Most of my flights are on a 737. I can easily get a Reunion Blues double in the overhead.

peace,
anthony

sayman · #60 11-03-2012, 01:27 AM

Ant, do you ever have any trouble with bringing your basses as a carry-on? If so, how do you resolve it? Would love to know! If you answered this elsewhere, my apologies for the repeat question.
