...but a better one in August.

Well......... we'll see about that!

 

[DELACIUS]

Really Janek's bass looks beautiful... true, time to start saving lunch money

 

[Rich Treat]

Jason, the buckeye on janek's bass, does that have some crotch grain in addition to the burl?

 

[Just Thumpin']

No, it did not come from a crotch, it is just the way we cut it -- the angle of the saw to the grain...

Not every day that this gets said in public.

 

[Rich Treat]

Ahhh, very cool. Thanks for the insight.

And in the hands of FedEx... At least until tomorrow morning.

Jason - I love your write-up on the Fodera site:

"A gorgeous Monarch Yin Yang Deluxe with exactly the same specs as Vic's first fretted Yin Yang. This is the last year that you'll see fairly frequent appearances of Yin Yang Deluxes here in the Newborn Section. Beginning in 2012 we are limiting production to just six (6) Yin Yang Deluxes per year...

This instrument is so incredibly resonant and acoustically alive that it can easily be played without amplification when practicing in a quiet room. Wow."

Now I just have to wait until tomorrow morning

 

[lefty1979]

Man, I love the crazy buckeye tops. But there's some thing about those simple, beautiful holly tops that really grabs me. I'd love to see a holly top with either a purpleheart or vermillion contrasting layer.

Congrats... that is beautiful... and Jason does have a way with words doesn't he.. You can really tell in his write ups just how much he really,, really loves these instruments and what he is doing.

 

[xmaddogx]

I am sure this is a dumb question on top of the fact that I did not read all 34 pages in this thread.... but why do I only see what appears to be maple necks on Foderas?

 

[funkydanbass]

Because you're not looking? Scroll up the page and have a look at both Oteil's and Janek's basses!

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Those both have maple necks. A neck is different than a fingerboard.

 

[funkydanbass]

Of course! My mistake...

 

[Rich Treat]

Oteil's bass has a maple neck, but Janek's has an ash neck.

Those both have maple necks. A neck is different than a fingerboard.

 

[Rich Treat]

I can't wait to see those! What are your other specs?

I know there will at least be one in August!

And another in December! LOL

I recently went through the process, with Jason, of getting all the details together for my monarch deluxe, including choosing a top, specs on my slapping ramp, etc. I was exceptionally impressed by his prompt, straightforward correspondence, knowledge and most of all ....class. I couldn't agree with Basswalker more that one can really sense his passion for these instruments. If anyone out there is in the market for a high-end, quality bass, and also hopes for the personalized, friendly attention, I'd highly recommend talking to Jason at Fodera.

I second.

 

[Just Thumpin']

WOW, thanks...that really means a lot...Munji, you too!!!

It's simple really...I love what we are doing here and I was a customer long before becoming a partner and I really try hard to work with people the way that I personally would like to be treated.

Thanks again for the kind words...
