I play 4,5 and 6 and I like them all, But I will tell you why I LOVE playing a four string. 1. It feels great, no restricting C string getting in the way...i can get aggressive on the bass easily! Great for percussive playing, double thumbing, popping with no restrictions or flapping B string...

Yes replacement nut required, however, nut replacement is not costly. This is for tuning very low Fsharp, B, E, A, for thunderous metal!!!!! Niiiice!! :) I like it. Yes adjustment by a pro needed, however the low tuning of the strings means tension may not be so strenuous on the neck as inferred...

Of course, but we are not talking about the Major chord here we are talking about the dominant and minor chords. Look at the transcripts again. the sharp 9 is used on the 2 (minor) and 5 (dominant) not the 1. You should never play the minor third on a Major 7 of course, but you can on a...

THe use of Cb would be if the line was descending , not ascending. Also playing a sharp 9 on a Dominant chord is nothing unusual, same as playing the major third on a minor 7 chord. This is all diminished and altered theory and is something that pianists seem to know much more about than...

Usually the 189 is loaded with East J Retro preamp and stock Atelier pick ups. However, recently, like since 2016, Atelier started fitting some models with Aguilar pickups so it is possible that this is original , do you know what year it is? It should come with a spec card so that'll tell you a...

SOLD

I do apologise, I totally forgot to update my TB listings when sold. It sold like 3 months back or more. Sorry! But if you really want a used Bacchus 5 I have plenty of partner stores here in Japan that I collaborate with and something similar may be available.

Indeed it is!

Thanks for your answer! it is very interesting to her, and I know a number of other brands have done this too in the past, like Ken Smith for example. I owned a couple of those MIJ Burners which were awesome too. This fodera was fantastic, nicest jazz neck you could wish for, perfect! All the...

I know this is an old thread, but would you care to elaborate?

It is an interesting question, and I have with me here a Fodera NYC Empire 4 string that I believe was MIJ. I have heard the rumours on the grapevine too, and the fact that the S cut heel contouring is the same as the Bottomwave and F clef that are MIJ, makes me think they are indeed from the...

Yes there is no problem. There are a number to choose from. generally they'd be about $1100 USD including shipping. Let me know if interested and I can organise procurement, set up, cleaning and shipment. Cheers!

Yes indeed, lots of them too!
