Edit: by the way, your bass looks awesome...

I am just packing up, but I am likely bringing my Squier VM as a backup. No point bringing my MTD or Spector as I doubt they would get played!

Congrats Brent! You're gonna love it.

There are TONS of tone options, from super-modern/scooped and aggressive to vintage and warm. I'm a big fan of soloing the neck humbucker and rolling off the tone... that tone knob is so handy!

One thing you're totally right about is how unforgiving the bass is. It really shows everything, which is great. Bass lines/fills I've played before on other instruments have always gotten buried, but with this, all notes speak nicely. Beware, however, mistakes are no longer easily thrown away!

When I saw your starting post, I thought you were talking about your cardboard box fetish - but then I saw the "Fodera" on it. ;-)

Well - very nice bass, and it sure sounds great.

For me the same bass with black metal parts - love it.

Congrats!

There are weirder fetishes.

That's true!

That's a very perdy bass... I'm not always a fan of Fodera's looks, but this one may change my mind!
Play it well and be well playing it!

The bass appears to be surrounded by cotton wool. Are you in heaven?

Yup.

Actually, one of the only "woman" touches in my basement studio. That corner of the room has 3 cigar humidors and other man cave stuff. She wanted to pretty it up, I guess!

Dang that's a nice bass! I can almost feel the sleekness on my computer screen. Congrats! Record some sound clips if possible.

I got to spend some time with one of these at NAMM. It's almost scary how even the tone is throughout the frequency range with everything centered. The lack of midbass boom put me off at first, but I now find myself craving it...
Enjoy the new bass!
