I ordered this in the Fall of 2008 and received it in January of 2009. Unfortunately it has seen less than 50 hours of playing time...all in my home studio. As much as I'd like to, I just don't play fretless much (or well) and so having an instrument of this caliber not getting played a TON is...

Folks -- This may be a Talk Bass first, but we DESPERATELY need your help. Victor Wooten is playing tonight at 8:30 pm at this venue in Norway and his basses were temporarily "misplaced" by the airlines. http://www.hemnesjazz.no/ We desperately need to find him a Fodera (ideally a Monarch...

For those of us that still need to hone our chops, the Cafe Walter HA-1A paired with a good set of headphones is about as great a tool as any. This Practice Amp can be used either with an included A/C (U.S.) Adapter or with two (2) 9-volt batteries (not included). You can read more about these...

For those of you that do not regularly read the Fodera Club thread, there have been some major changes (hopefully all positive) at Fodera. Effective 10/14/09, Vinny and Joey have added a small new group of partners (of which I am one) dedicated to helping provide customer service at the same...

$1,500 including shipping in the Continental U.S.! For sale is one of a series of five UL-902C's that Epifani built for several of their endorsers that wanted the maximum power and sound in the smallest possible footprint (I believe that Oteil Burbridge, Anthony Jackson and Matt Garrison all...

On 8/1/09 -- PRICE DROP TO $1,700!! For sale is one of a series of five UL-902C's that Epifani built for several of their endorsers that wanted the maximum power and sound in the smallest possible footprint. Nick and his team used the UL-502 chassis on the outside with the guts of a UL-902C...

Hey TB Gang -- Something that I have been wondering about...how often have you bought a used bass either here on TB or on eBay and been disappointed? I have been extremely lucky over the years in that with the exception that almost every bass I have purchased used needed a new set of strings...

Fellow TB'ers -- a really simple post, can we please, please honor one of the greatest bass makers on the planet by spelling his name correctly? It is Vinny, not Vinnie. I have asked him. Most of the stuff on this board and in print about Fodera gets this simple, but important, fact wrong...

I am seriously thinking about selling a very special Epifani amp that I bought used directly from Epifani about a year ago. This amp was formerly owned by Gary McKenzie, bassist extraordinaire and fellow TB'er. When he passed away, the amp was returned to Epifani to be sold to rasie money for...

Taken by my dear friend -- he and I spent A LOT of time in and around the Fodera booth... Follow the link below and then click on the link for the NAMM photos. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

There has been a lot of confusion on TB for some time about the relationship between f-Clef Basses and Fodera, so, when I was at the Fodera shop this past Wednesday (getting one of my Monarch's adjusted) I asked Joey what the real deal is... This is all directly from him and hopefully will...

Many of us have several basses that we use at different times, for different reasons -- a so-called, "well-rounded stable." So for my sound, playing style and taste I have, without completely consciously doing so, ended up with the following as my well-rounded stable: 1964 Fender Jazz Bass...

Fellow TBers -- take advantage of the craziness of the World's financial markets. Their is a gorgeous, new Sadowsky Metro on eBay for sale from a store in Australia. The value of Australia's currency has dropped by almost 40% in the past 6 months. What does that mean -- this NEW Sadowsky that...

The family snapshot...all 4-strings. From left to right, 1986 Zebrawood, 1986 Rosewood, 1996 Crotch Walnut, 2007 Koa, 2008 Purple Heart / Pau Amarillo. They play better than they look...

Okay, before I get flamed, I do not mean that they do not make some very fine instruments. They do and I have owned one. However, has anyone ever tried to actually order a truly "custom" bass from the Fender "Custom Shop?" It's virtually impossible unless the bass falls within the specs they...

TB has finally done me in and I have to start selling some of the bases I own. My wife now has me on a strict one in, one out policy, so, I am selling my 2005 4-String Fender Victor Bailey Jazz Bass. The bass is in excellent condition, has been professionally set up and perfectly maintained. The...

Help -- I keep attaching JPG's to my threads, but I see lots of people post 2, 3, 4, 5 even 10 gorgeou pictures right within the body of their thread. How do you do that???

I have a pair of 1996 Lane Poor J/J's that came out of my 1996 Fodera Monarch 4-string. Excellent tone and perfect working order. Includes new mounting screws. I posted these on TB a couple of weeks ago for $400 and got no bites so I sold them (or thought I did) on eBay for $340 (including...

Folks, for those of you that have been looking for a Fodera but cannot stand the wait, last evening when I was picking up one of my Monarchs (that Joey had been working on), they were just putting the finishing touches on a brand new Essence Series Imperial Elite 5-String that will be available...

The following Fodera Monarch 4-string has been posted on eBay no less than five times in the past four months each time with a starting price at, or above, $6,995! Each time the auction ends without a bid. Wouldn't you expect this guy to realize that what he thinks his bass is worth and what...

Several months ago I took delivery of a Fodera Monarch 4-string with EMG J/J pups. As most of you know, delivery times on Foderas are often measured in YEARS rather than months so when I found a gorgeous, new Koa over Mahogany Fodera Monarch for sale at Dave's Guitar in Wisconsin I jumped all...

I recently took delivery of a Fodera Yin Yang with Seymour Duncan Dual Coils in it: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428134&highlight=fodera The tone is just insanely great. Here's the question, I have an older Fodera that has EMG J/J's in it (it has the same electronics...

Anyone have first-hand experience with the tone differences between using an Epifani UL-410 vs. using two UL-210's? Obviously the 2 210's have more flexibility (cost a little more also), but would I be sacrificing anything in tone by using this set-up compared with one 410? I would be running...

I have been player Fender Jazz basses for years and recently bought a Fodera Monarch 4-string. For the past year I have been playing through a Roland DB-210 Combo and liked the sound very much until I got my Fodera and played it through a friend's Epifani rig (UL-502 and UL-210). WOW I could...

Anyone have recommendations for a great teacher in the NY Metro Area? I live in Northern NJ, but would be happy to travel to the city... I have been playing since 1983, but took a long time away from the instrument (from 1990 - 2005). I would classify myself as an intermediate player, and...

Anyone have any recommendations for a great teacher within 30 minutes or so of Montclair, New Jersey? I have been playing since 1983, but took a long time away from the instrument (from 1990 - 2005). I would classify myself an intermediate player, and really want to take my playing to the next...
