Few weeks ago, I posted my 2011 Fodera on the club thread.
That time,I didn't know how to post photos on the website so I couldn't, but now, I just learned.!

Here!!

Alder Body, Brazilian Rosewood FB, Water-Maple Neck, Maple Burl Top, Fodera PUs.

Actually, I was really tempted by brazilian Rosewood Burl Top, so I changed my top woods, but I saw my Maple Burl too much to put in down... Finally, I comeback to her!!

Thanks to Jason and thndrstk6

Presently we do not have any plans for a straight P-bass in the NYC line. One could be done as a custom instrument...

But are there any P basses (without the J)?

Thanks !

Nothing that looks like this piece. We only have one (that's right, one) piece of truly extraordinary Chestnut left for a solid top...

An interesting piece of trivia...EVERY Chestnut Fodera's top came from the same tree. Every one!

Is it wrong to ask what that last piece is going for?

Saw on basscentral that they have a beautiful crotch walnut 5 with a RW board coming to it, I am very curious to see that thing when it's done!

so sober, Just Gorgeous ...

Hey Thndrstk6!

Would you mind doing another mock up? I know alot of poeple ask you to do them but I'd reallly appreciate it =)

Its an emperor 5 with a 4 string sized body
Black Hardware
Rosewood board
Alder Body
Flamed Walnut Top
34'
Standard String Spacing
Seymour Duncan Dual Coils w/ plastic covers

You can use any generic walnut if you have any for the top. can't seem to find the pic of my chosen top.

Nice! I'm also thinking of a resized Emperor 5. What is standard string spacing? 19 mm?

 

[Just Thumpin']

Yes, our standard is 19mm, however the bridge is adjustable from 18.0 - 20.0...

Richard's next bass will be very simple -- EXACTLY like the Fodera that he has become known for. The one that he did not keep was a 33" scale. Since he travels so much he wanted us to make him a more compact, lighter weight (Swamp Ash instead of Medium Weight Northern Ash) instrument. After playing it for quite awhile he decided that he preferred not having to switch back and forth between 33" and 34" scale and preferred the tone of his heavier, denser 34". So, we will be replicating that bass as exactly as possible.

 

[chris.gotfunk]

So, what are the basic sonic differences between northern ash and swamp ash? My last Imperial had northern (I believe) and it was quite heavy and flat sounding.
