Fodera Club Part II

[Christian Houmann]

Cool! It would be nice a picture of those two basses

Have Fodera considered volume/blend vs. volume/volume?

What the hell???? Is that a Fodera with fanned frets????? There's something I never thought I'd see.

I actually e-mailed Fodera a couple of times (quite some time ago) inquiring as to a possible custom bass with multiple scale lengths, but I never received a response. I assumed they had no interest in this project.

I also found this picture! The Japanese are fast

Will there be options as the NYC 5? Dual Coils, Top wood etc?

This is actually the sister (or brother) bass to my son's...our Japanese distributor has it...

We are still trying to decide how many options to offer on these. The first step was to refine the shapes, make sure that they sound and play great and get them out into the World...

it's time for Club PART III, isn't it !?

Funny, not really sure what to call them! Larger than vintage and a bit smaller than the Medium Jumbos we use on the custom instruments.

Joey and Vinny worked on this design for a long time. Even though it is clearly a J-Bass descendant, everything about it feels and looks really well thought out. Over the past year they did many, many iterations of the NYC-4 and really just finalized the design in early Fall...

Anyway, it weighs exactly 9 pounds (right where Vinny feels that the tone / weight balance is optimal) and balances quite well with just a slight hint of neck dive on the lap and perfect balance on a strap...

As for sound...it does exactly what Joey and Vinny wanted...A Jbass with more tonal control, a wider tonal spectrum and more punch yet very natural and woody sounding. It is most certainly a Fodera.

On Monday we will be stringing up a fretless (Alder / East Indian Rosewood FB) and an Ash / Maple FB -- I cannot wait to hear them!

Waaaaaaay cool! Looks like a killer neck...

Now that Jason's there, that's not a problem. Try it now.
