One downside to having really good credit. My first Fodera has now ruined me. I'm now trying to rationalize $11K for another one.
feh - better tell the boy to get good grades so he can get a scholarship

Well look what arrived at my door today:

I think my kitten wants to be part of the club too. This is The One out of 12 basses I can bring with me when I move to Europe in a couple of months, thanks to the excessive customs duties and shipping fees/risks - thank you very much, Czech Republic 
. Still, given the choice between either my one YYS or all 11 other basses, I'd pick this any day!

Throwing down the gauntlet!
If Jason were to go along with it, how long would it take you to post your spec sheet to TB with proof of down payment?
30 seconds.
For my son? Well, he would fetch a good bit on the black market, but not sure I'm ready to go that far for a new bass...

I remember my own early Fodera days...I was a diehard Jazz Bass guy at the time. I had four of them. An original '64, a Victor Bailey, a butterscotch blonde American Deluxe and a aged cherry burst Custom Classic. All of them were plek'd and played like butter and sounded great. Then I bought my first Monarch...oops.
Less than two years after that the only Jazz I still had was / is my '64. It seems almost zero playing time but I just cannot part with it. Oh yeah, I have 10 Monarchs (down from 12 earlier this year) with two more in the build schedule for later this Fall (that were ordered in 2009).
I feel like the old Remington Razor commercial..."I loved the product so much, I bought the Company." Well in this case I merely became one of the owners of the Company.
Also, in case you are wondering...all of the Foderas that I currently own were purchased BEFORE I was a partner...so I paid normal market prices! Finally, any new orders (like the two that are coming) are STILL purchased (at Dealer pricing) and I still wait in line for them to be built...
Cheers,
J

Wow! Congratulations. You should do something to protect Vic's signature on the back; I've read that others have had theirs wear off.Well look what arrived at my door today:
