Fodera Club Part IX

[steubig]

The folks at Bass Player do a really, really great job with that event. Joey and I had a blast. A touch of low frequency overload, but hey, its all good. Met lots of great people, heard some great players and got to talk bass for 2 days straight...what's better than that?!?

Looking forward to seeing you!!!

Ha, ha! Love that.

 

[fivestringdan]

Just changed my order. Thank you Jason!!!!

Exactly the same as any Elite model...no premium for that shape (without the carved top and chambering)...

hey Jason and the great Fodera folks-
hope the Bass Day H'wood was astounding this year! By all indications, it was one of the best ever.

i woulda been there in a heartbeat, but gigged that weekend with the ISC ensemble, an amazing hybrid chamber music group-

"Grail" the mighty 6 was well represented in Bach's Brandenburg 5, Debussy's Des Pas nur la Neige, and a great improv duet with master Latin percussionist Javier Diaz. Grail lay beautifully within the orchestral textures like a subterranean deux ex machina.

Looking forward to visiting the shop soon. It's been way too long!
be well joe g

Very cool!

 

[libanass]

That bass was my first Fodera. Awesome! So light and amazing punch. Enjoy it

Thank you sooo much
And it was the first Fodera of the previous owner (Basdyret, great guy!), and now, it is my first Fodera as well

I just can't wait to go back to Belgium, and have it in my hands!!

It is REALLY close...

Jason,

Thanks for the update Now I don't have to bother Laura.

I really wish I had taken the time to go to the Bass Live thing in LA. I hadn't even thought of it until that Saturday morning, and I could have made the trip...it's only 4 hours or so to get there from here. Seeing in particular how much you thought of it, I'm sorry I didn't go. It would have been really cool to visit with you Fodera folks!

Here's a question for all of you Fodera experts. I plan to put flatwounds on my YY Deluxe. Any thoughts on that? I haven't seen much discussion about strings on these basses, and I have fallen in love with flats on my Jazz Bass. I'm certain there is no technical issue with having them on a Fodera, just wondering if you have experience with tone and flatwounds.

I'm sure it will sound great. Just about everything related to my YYD I am thrilled with. I personally haven't put flats on mine because it is such a great slapping bass and I don't want to lose that. But... Give it a try. If you don't like it you only have to change the strings. No biggie.

um, yeah, it'll sound badass. i have some flats on both fretted and fretless fodera 6-string basses.

Just got this bass, love it! But I am so used to my 35 inch scale think I might want to trade her for a Fodera in 35 scale, might do 34, anyone interested?

 

[portraitoftracy]

oh yeah, this used to be the display bass on Fodera's sight for the Garrison model, kind of cool

 

[fivestringdan]

You remind me of Jared switching Fodera's every month..lol. Great looking bass!

Great thought! I didn't know if you'd do that or not. If I send them say, second day air via UPS, with that work? Should I send to this address:
Fodera Guitars
68 34th Street, 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11232

To anyone's specific attention?

Thank you, sir!

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

I used to have a video saved on my youtube of this guy playing a 6 string fodera with TI's on it.. sounded so sweet!

 

[Just Thumpin']

Correct address. Send them to my attention:

Jason DeSalvo

2nd day might hold up setting up your bass by a day or two...but that's your call!

Thanks, Jason. Ok, will do it overnight, instead... I didn't know it was that close to being done. I will absolutely have my wife ship them tomorrow morning; you should have them Tuesday am. I appreciate it.

 

[Angus]

USPS express mail should get them there by that time, and will only cost you $16.50 instead of $30 via UPS.

A nice little video on Vic's gear:

Does anyone know more about his tenor bass? ? (Body wood, pickups, etc) - I absolutely love the tone of it, and it's got a lot of great mojo going on.

Back in the day.
