Man, what a bass ! 36' is definitely not my cup of tea and I would miss the neck pup, but anything else is top of the line.
What does the blend knob do here ?

very cool to hear Mike. although over-the-top-busy get to be a pain and strain on family and life in general, it's great to see things going great for ya!!
Nice~

I actually never thought to ask? We did speak for a little about the bass, but I think I was pretty stoked to get it.
Wow Wow Wow, and a complete steal!, congrats.
definitely a steal. i sold my emperor elite for more that what that bass went for. chestnut top AND back..........bastard
I would like to quote Janek Gwizdala from bassplayer 09 
"Fodera basses are like children, but more expensive"

Enjoy it - it's a smoking bass. I played that bass many times and it was always rewarding.
That is one killer looking bass! How many millimeters is the center of that pickup from the first string's (G) saddle?
Better yet...how many millimeters is the center of that pickup from the 12th fret? (I know...I am being picky now!)
so should I be expecting a cheque in the mail for doing an interview in bass player magazine...... interesting
FYI I didn't do any interviews for BP in 2009..... and i have never been paid for, and very much doubt I ever will get paid for an interview in my life.....
I'm not sure too many people get paid for free international press...... that's kind of the point of doing interviews and press isn't it? you show up, talk about whatever they want to talk about, then it gets printed and distributed around the world.... no?

Janek is a very nice person and spend a lot of his time to mail and talk with people who wanna know more about his playing, gear etc. Watching those bassplayer 09 videos with him you can tell he a very cool person and knows the music world very well. I have very much respect for Janek. What he already have done with music in the age of what? 30 or something! Janek is workhard bassplayer!
I guess he mean that those Fodera basses are really special and you take care of them a lot. I think it's very funny quote...

+1 on Janek being a nice guy and a true scholar of the bass.
Hey Janek, you still planning on being at the booth some this year? We should play again. Last year was a ball. I built a headphone distribution system this year. 3 guys plus a stereo source (like haynes) can play through amps and into the system, then everyone gets their own phones with their own mix. There's another mix that goes to PA speakers and a 16 channel headphone distribution system for some of the listeners. So we'll actually be able to hear ourselves and not worry about the dB cops. I'm looking forward to that hopefully happening.
And for the record, basses are most definitely NOT more expensive than kids. Not to mention that you'll never have to change a diaper full of sawdust
