    How versatile is a Fodera bass?

    Wonderfully crafted basses. Depending on the woods and electronics, capable of a wide range of tones, or a few really good ones. As they are a custom bass shop, they can certainly craft an instrument to your liking. I don't personally own one, nor do I desire one. Though they are marvelously...

    NBD - Cliff Bordwell fretless 5 (trigger warning: coffee table bass content)

    Now that you've lived with it for a little bit, what are your thoughts? How are you liking the blades? That fingerboard is truly drool-worthy.

    Maghini Basses

    Got to try out a couple of his basses a few years ago. Great neck profile. Really smooth playing.

    Club Bordwell Part 4

    I don't believe so. The pup spacing on this CB is pretty close (relatively speaking, based off eyeball). My bass is wired with 4-band EQ, single volume, and blend.

    Replacement PU for jazz bass

    When I replaced the pickups in my G&L JB-5, I went with LeCompte Triple Threats. I wanted something ultra-defined and clear. They fit the bill.

    Personally, I’ve always found that cardboard sounds best once I strip away the outer layer.

    Club Bordwell Part 4

    It’s shouldn’t be too long now. Neck is attached to body. Shapes are correct. I’m sure sanding is the most time consuming and arduous part. Once that’s complete… Not too long.

    Nope. That’s my first. New one isn’t here yet. This one is the mahogany/Zebrawood bass.

    Looks lovely, build brother. ...and "Thanks". Chatting with you helped me decide to get a Bordwell build.

    Maybe...but Hell, I'm too lazy to find it, so I'll put 'em here. Classic Singlecut Classic Headstock (yeah, I realize that Cliff doesn't call it "Classic", but dammit, I've been lusting after these basses for so long, and it's such a pretty shape...) 5-string 34" scale 17.5mm spacing at bridge...

    I’ve never connected with a center block bass. However, to be fair, I’ve only played a few.

    I might not need to even play this one. I can just put it on a stand at the front of the stage.

    Hardest Technique To Learn?

    Personally, inserting fills into bassline during another instrument's solo that don't call attention away from the soloist.
