They look pretty good and given japans effort latley making basses I bet the build qualities great.

damn mr.dave...

that's one more reason to sell my ray...

reasonable price... and since my white jaguar bass i definitely wouldn't have any doubt with japan made basses...

 

[needmoney]

Good old Japan!

 

[KJung]

Nice!

 

[Alistair R]

Yum yum, looks very nice! Then again, they're not cheap either!

As much as I like the Japanese quality, I'm not going to be the first American to pay 3K plus $300 shipping to own one

Is it just me or....don't most of these Japanese basses seem to be custom versions of vintage basses? I'm sure they're nice, but there are plenty of American builders who have been doing the same designs for years.

At one point you could get the American custom quality at a great price with the Japanese offerings. Now they are as much or more than the American customs

I wonder if it's a currency echange thing? I dunno, I'm just a pharmacist......

On Fodera's website it says "The Fodera preamp circuit can be found ONLY in Fodera basses."

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Has something changed?

 

[Ed Goode]

Hmmm, not so sure that I'd be coughing up almost $2500-$3000 without having some serious review info on those basses. It doesn't seem like the US would be a great market for another "not cheap" fender-esque bass, especially when you consider the amazing quality of the Valenti's, Lull's, Lakland's etc. for about the same (or less) coin ...

OTOH, they could be amazing .... As far as the Fodera pre is concerned, I don't know what's up with that. I'm not tuned into the Fodera market at all .....

Hmmm... Sounds like someone's got wallet envy...

Oh, there's a word I'm thinking of... on my tongue....

oh yeah!



BORING.



not in re: to the OP, but rather ANOTHER company making P and J basses. Tired. So tired.
