But that's just me talking out my a**.  Jason is always THE answer man.

Elite is "THE" Fodera for me. Dont really care for the dovetails unless it is a YY. Never played a BO, though.

I'm not interested into the crazy distortion thing, tubes are for buttery, rich clean tone in my book.
So from what I've read Monique is on my future. Quote:

Also, it seems to work with any bass.... My vintage Fenders, Modulus, MTD 535, Spector, etc (my Fodera won't be delivered until February).
Also, it isn't super expensive IMO. I run mine with a $350 (new) Crest poweramp and it sounds amazing and has more than enough headroom.
The only thing Monique won't do is crazy raunchy distortion, but there are pedals for that!
Truly a great amp IMO. I have no need for anything else. |

| | | BR is just a great sounding an resonating wood. If you want something else, ok.
Maybe take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSbjCfK5Iq8

Folks,
I am starting to dig ramps on 5ers and am contemplating getting one made for my soon to be delivered Emperor Standard. Any recommendations for sources that do not charge a fortune for a ramp?
Thx!

Did they misquote Fodera, or is it true? They also stated that they are intorducing a new guitar line at NAMM this year. |
