Fodera Club Part III

[se_jazman]

The only Alder/Maple Fodera I know off beside yours, is Victor Wooten's Yin/Yang. Amazing bass you have! Let's see the Walnut/Kingwood too

Thanx Hou. I include two pics of the Emperor II. Have posted it earlier here on TalkBass, although not after the addition of a ramp and with the Titanium bridge.

Very nice! I've never seen a titanium bridge on any other Fodera except for AJ's. Beautiful instrument you have there.

Hi Jason,

Are there any pictures available of the 33" IMPERIAL Richard Bona decided to not keep? What happened to this bass afterwards?

I remember that it was for sale on bass central website.

That is so poignently random. Kudos....

It was sold by us to Bass Central through the Fodera Certified Pre-Owned Program...

[Rich Treat]

Why did Bona not keep that bass?

 

[harrybosch]

I would guess that it didn't sound that good and had a weak B string.

Here

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.

that Bass on the wall there is a beast !!! could you tell us more about it please ?

I've seen it in a german Fodera announcement in a Bass magazine and I would guess it's a Emp II 4 Str. Ying & Yang Quilted Maple/ Koa .....

Also the guys wanted to make 25 special Instruments after the aniversary modell with the eagle.... what became of this idea ? is that Ying & Yan maybe one of these 25 specials ???

Nice one!!!!! It is definitely a good one!! May I ask Black or Gold hardware?

[emjazz]

Jason, what kind of finish does Fodera use? I've always been curious about that.

Beautiful bass Jonno!
