J | Gotcha. Thank you for the clarification. Whether it's an AJ Presentation or just a "lookalike", with the same shape, it's a beautiful design. Just had to share this Presentation from the newborn gallery with those have might not have seen it.

I debated for about six months before I placed my order to have a presentation model built or a two pickup instrument. I'm sure Anthony's bass is an incredible instrument I just felt like it wouldn't work for me. I wanted a bridge pickup. It may sound odd but that was the deal breaker..lol

Manager and Partner, Fodera Guitars (as of 10/14/09) | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: NE United States | | He just recently got one of the very last NYC's that we made. He was in the shop hanging out day and played one that we had just put together and absolutely fell in love with it. He has done a LOT of recording on his various Foderas. Out in the public eye, however, it's pretty much Fender all the way...

Manager and Partner, Fodera Guitars (as of 10/14/09) | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: NE United States | | They are coming along really, really well. We will be shipping the first ones late this week or early next week. From now until the end of September we will be getting roughly 10 per month completed.
When we announced them back in October of last year we said that we would start shipping "on, or around April 1, 2012," and here we are ready to do just that...
Jin, thanks for the kind words!!!
Regards,

I'm not surprised those two are your current go-for's. Regardless of how long, at least your assured playing time will be of the highest quality. Just be careful the other's don't get jealous and rebel..
Ahh yes..The Zebrawood top Monarch (too many great basses, I can't keep track). Is there a great difference between '80's and the latter day active EMG's? I've got to try a bass with those active EMG's..
Easy... |
I remember seeing the first zebrawood with zebrawood fretboard way back when. IIRC that one was dovetail. always one of my favorite combos. remember playing it but can't remember how it sounded however. the second generation HAZ preamp is very bright with the emgs' which probably works well with the softer warmer fretboard. need to look away now....

| Zebrawood as a fretboard material is completely new to me, so Jason's bass is the first I've seen, and with the matching top it looks great... |

The bass is not mine, I'm just an admirer.
