| Happy New Year to you all & what great way to bring in 2013. I played the clips mentioned above and I just continued going through all my fav Steely Dan clips. Loving Ready Freddy on bass and John Herrington's solo's are just so classy and that's from a Wayne Kratnz fan.
All the best.. |

as todd mentioned, this has been a round for a while (in fact, i posted his cl listing up here). the guy has been trying to sell it since october, which is when i got all this information (his first listings didn't show body wood--d'oh). he started around 8k, then went down to 7.5, then shot up to 10 . . . . dunno if he's noticed that there's another fodera 6 up there for considerably less that has not budged . . .
still and all, i've been tracking it.
so thanks for thinking of me :-)

btw, had to submit my final (no quotes) spec today. Ebony it is, all around.

Brazillian rosewood top (non-solid)
34" scale, 17.5mm bridge, 24 small frets
5-piece maple/bubinga neck w/ebony fingerboard
dual coil pups, Fodera/Pope 3-band preamp, D-tuner
Monarch Elite 5 (E-C) fretless

34" scale, 17.5mm bridge
3-piece ash neck w/unlined ebony fingerboard
dual coil pups, Fodera/Pope 3-band, D-tuner
The idea was to have a pair of "fraternal twins" that combine elements of my Yin Yang Deluxe 4 and MGS 5. I'll keep the YYD and likely sell the MGS when these are done. Then I should have all my basses covered (pun intended):
fretted and fretless 5s, E-C for comping/soloing
fretted 4 PJ (YYD) for most rock stuff
fretless 4 (Rob Allen) for upright vibe
fretted 4 JJ (Lull) for backup and if a bandleader insists on a "traditional" look
Everything 34" scale, the Foderas all chambered walnut body and ebony fingerboard. The only adjustment I have to make on a gig is if I'm swapping between 5 and 4 (19mm spacing vs 17.5mm spacing). I'm doing that now and it doesn't give me much of a problem.

I totally hear you on that point man! Saving up now for a deposit on my second Fodera, and first true custom bass. Having more than one instrument is the only way to go, really.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
