Yeah I too thought that the wording was a little interesting but it was the opinion,not the wording that seemed criticised.Hence my post.

lol...I've been pretty tame of late. Anyway, I'll say again, Joe, great playing and tone on silence. Makes me want to start playing bass again.
thanks man, i know you would tell me if you thought it was wack
youre not playing? you recently bought another fodera didnt you?

Yeah I did. I was starting to feel the drive to play again, bought that Fodera to sort of celebrate the desire and then soon lost it again. I sold the bass after that. That was a great Fodera, probably the best I've played. My itch comes and goes here lately. I'll talk to a band but when it come time to set-up a jam I back out. I've gotten together with two bands recently and neither were very good. I'm mostly playing acoustic doing the singer/songwriter thing in my living room right now
Sad I know but my job doesn't leave me with much inspiration after dealing with the folks I do on a daily basis.
What happened Bro???
Thank you all for asking.
It's not that bad, but it makes me furious anyway.
My Monarch (one of the models shown at the NAMM show) should have arrived last Monday. Instead, it stayed in customs till yesterday. No reaction from FedEx. I contacted them and they told me they need a statement from me that they are authorized to handle the whole clearing and tax stuff. Strange, because I have sent this to them last Friday after they called me up and asked for it. They must have lost it.
OK, **** happens. Today the bass was already out for delivery and I stayed at home the whole day in excitement. This afternoon I got an email which said, that the address is wrong. I went "WHAT?". The building has the number "13/2", but somebody must have read it as "132". This driver must have been a complete moron! The street I live in is very short and everbody can see a big "13/2" on my mailbox, just by driving by. Couldn't he have asked somebody, this poor sucker?
I hope the bass will be delivered tomorrow.
What a pain. Basses in transit always make me nervous; hope this gets to you quick.
On the brighter side... which Monarch are you getting?

So now it's our fault for being "sensitive"? Trying to turn it around on others isn't cool. I see a bunch of stuff on TalkBass that isn't to my taste whatsoever. So what do I do? I just don't comment on it because I have nothing of value to add. If you don't like ramps then don't comment. I guess I see that as so self evident, that I am surprised it goes on. I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway...
I think the Fodera that was posted looks fantastic, and the matching ramp system is some incredible work and I am sure the buyer will love it (this is what actually matters here). I love seeing all the new Foderas coming through, some of the best basses around for sure.
For what it's worth, I'm cool with it. Tact may not be his forte, but it certainly didn't bother me. None of the options I chose were not chosen by chance, so I knew what I was getting into.
Thank you, there's always hope.
I'm getting a fourstring with a quite unusual wood combination for a Monarch. Ash body, birdseye maple FB, dark claro walnut top.
You can see it on the newborns page at Fodera's website. It can also be seen in the background on some of the vids from the Fodera booth.
I hope they take it indoors tonight; it's getting pretty cold here.
Ok, had I said I like ramps does that add anything of value? By saying I like the bass does that add anything of value? No it doesn't so I guess according to your logic nobody should comment to the negative or positive as these comments have no purpose. I'm glad Angus was OK with my comments as they were directed at his bass. Your reply to it added no value so I'm not sure why you bothered
And, Angus, tact is not my forte. I believe in saying what I mean that way I'm generally not misunderstood. I may not be well liked but I'm cool with that, too

That is a yummy wood combination! When I get back in the market for a new bass that is exactly what I want (except for the walnut top, only because my fodera has a walnut top).
I didn't tell my FedEx story from last month,.... No body was home when FedEx delivered my Fodera, so they left it on the porch unattended! It was there by itself for a few hours. I thought that the policy was that they leave a note and take it back to the warehouse if the package was above a certain value. There wasn't any harm done, and I was too excited about receiving my Fodera that I didn't make a stink about it. I'm just glad that it didn't become an issue (no rain, no theft, it wasn't a hot day,...), but if I wasn't so happy I would have been pretty mad.
