Fodera Club Part V

[P_bass]

I suppose I will quit lurking and say this...

For a book title or a new slogan let me suggest

"Fodera, it's what you want!"

I know I don't have a Fodera, but have the want for one and will someday have one which makes it fitting to me and I am sure many thousands more.

I have a wooden truss cover on my Imperial 6...along with a wooden butterfly. I'll snap a pic soon...

Garey

Your Imperial 6 is gorgeous! I'm interested in seeing a close up of those features.

Rich,

I believe this is slated to be the completion week for your Emperor II?

Yep! Hopefully it will ship this week sometime. I kind of wish that I could just go in to hibernation until the delivery man arrives...

"fodera," with an "o"

how times do people ask you, "fedora?"

;-)

 

[Rich Treat]

For titles, I might prefer:

Fedora: The Story of the World's Most Beautiful Hat

Fodera should have some fedoras made with the Fodera butterfly on them!

Yes sir. You? We gonna play?!? It was a blast last time.

absolutely. Laura just emailed me about what time I wanted to play at the booth. Are you going to have your pre amp booth right next door again?

Will be great fun. I'm coming in from Texas on the first day I think, probably be there around lunchtime.

See you there.

Garey,

Your imperial is very classy. I like the wooden butterfly, wooden trussrod cover and the double veneer on the body. Very nice touches!

Thanks! Wish I had as nice as camera as my bass! Anyways....I got the knobs from Roger at THG knobs http://www.thgknobs.com/ .

I sourced ALL the koa for my bass (as I spent half my life in Hawaii)...so I got some "pen blanks", from the same piece of wood that the top and headstock veneer came from, and sent those to Roger. This was 2003 that I first made contact with him, turned Beez onto him, and 4+ years ago that they were completed when my bass was ready.

I've always loved the looks of that bass! Beautiful!

Great to hear! I'm sure the next few days will be absolutely agonizing but when you open that tear drop Fodera case for the first time... Man, that's the stuff!

Can't wait til I can do the same thing.
