I've always wanted to ask. Is there a particular reason you chose the darker wood (ebony? katalox?) for the fretboard extension as opposed to maple like the rest of it? And is the area under the pickguard still routed out so you can move the pups around or was that only on the last bass? Either way it looks awesome.

Bosendoerfer pianos. Some have extra keys below the bottom "A" and they are an inverse color scheme. The white notes are black, and the black notes are white. So I went with light wood/dark dots, then dark wood/light dots. No REAL reason. I just though it would be cool.

I still have the huge gaping hole in the bass, but the PUPs have stayed in the 60's J position for 5 years or so now.

Sorry Mike,

but i'd never even think about "touching" my Fodera with heavy tools like you did.
Ok, replacing a part like a bridge or a pickguard is nothing to get excited about as well as replacing a PU. But the holes in your Fodera's body look.....kind of scary [no offense].

regards. :)

I didn't do it. Vinny did.

So will all the signature basses come with a giant route to capture that Pope tone? :D

Hi folks,
I have an original Fodera brochure which has been hanging on my wall for 27 years.. I scanned it in for all of you to see but it won't upload because it is too big. It is PDF format.. about 900k or more.. I tried photo bucket but it wasn't happy uploading the pdf. :-( Anyone have any ideas...
thanks
Guy

As a former Fodera Player I forgot I had this in my pics archive.

Well, i downsized it and can now upload.. I will get one with better resolution for you all but this is a start. The Monarch on the right is mine. I believe the Anthony Jackson 6 is the one they brought to the store for me to try as well.
enjoy

Gotta love that Brazilian Rosewood top on the Anthony Jackson model. Let's see if Jason, "the Wizard and keeper of photos"(?), can find a sister piece in the back of the shop.

Three cheers for Jason to take the time to post great photos of basses in progress and for the Newborn section.

Probably the most original visual modification I've ever heard of, very cool :)

Can I ask why? As opposed to, say, 70s spacing?
