God forbid it got lost on an airplane, damaged, etc....he'd like to keep the first one a "stay at home," stay in the studio bass because it is his voice and he doesn't want to lose it...make sense?

Just Thumpin, back to the Bona bass. I understand him wanting something lighter so a new bass was made. But not it seems he's having a bass built just like the one he's known for. Why not just play the original one. What's the point of a new identical one?

Our Price List has been posted for some time now on our website for all the world to see. Buying a bass at this level should be based on working with the person or people that you are most comfortable working with. Pricing should theoretically be very similar no matter where you buy your Fodera. The reason that we have a network of dealers is so that people can work with people they know, who know their playing style and with whom they have worked with for years...

Given the size of the investment a player makes to have a bass built by us from the ground up to suit their playing style and desired tone, we believe that the personal relationship you have or develop with your dealer or us as part of the ordering process is far more important to the end result than a price difference of a couple of hundred dollars one way or the other...

Bona also play a New York Bass Works bass with spec.
Alder body and Rosewood fingerboard which very different from his Imperial. Has he never considered a Alder/Rosewood Fodera :)

That's a nice looking bass, I think!!
Especially the one pick up four string with what looks like a quilt maple full facing.
Nice!
Tempting...:)

Despite it being located in an obscure place on the website (in the Pricing and Policies Section), the last link on the following page provides a detailed overview of the Fodera Dual Action Truss Rod and how to properly adjust it...

Until we finish our major website revamp that is currently underway, this was the only page on which we could stick this document / link!

Jason,

Nice document you put together! Those are very good instructions. I've had to explain that process to guys a number of times over the years and your document makes it so much easier! Good stuff.

Yeah, it became pretty obvious after I was answering a question about our Truss Rod for the third time in as many days that a pretty large percentage of Fodera players did NOT know that the Truss Rod could be flipped and made to operate in the opposite direction. clearly we had an obligation to fix that! ;)

jason，sorry for bothering again，the gold bridge and hardware look nice on fodera bass，however，the perennial corroding makes me depressed，And I do not like the appearance of black hardware，does vinni have other materials for the bridge and turner，like silver？

In addition, I have two questions
1.Gold-plated hardware is brass covered with a thin layer of gold？
2.Black hardware, what materials？iron or brass
