Fodera Club Part VIII

[TimothyGroovy]

No, it has nothing to do with the age...all of our Pau Ferro was hand selected by Vinny over 20 years ago. Pau Ferro varies very significantly in color. We have some that is lighter and some that is darker, but none that looks like the washed, out, bland stuff most people seem to associate with this wood. That's one of the things that I love about my partners (Vinny and Joey) and the whole Fodera mindset -- they have always taken the time to hand select the best woods and have been willing to pay a premium to get them.

As always!!

That topwood looks related to mine, except I don't have the zone of flame in the middle.

Great looking bass, Maple Burl right?

I remember that picture. And, it is definitely one of pictures that made me go for Maple Burl. Enjoy it

Can someone tell me which wears the best through the years, black hardware or gold hardware, and what is the benefits of one over the other?

 

[Jimmy Dukes]

Our preference is to expose the pole pieces unless the player either sweats a lot or does not like the look. We feel that getting the magnets ever-so-slightly closer to the strings provides a slightly more open, nuanced tone. The difference is subtle and only noticeable via a direct before and after comparison on the same instrument...

Very helpful, thanks Jason

What is the story about Mike Bendy's Imperial 5? It's rare to see an ash body with no top and a ash neck with rosewood fingerboard. Also the different pickup sizes.

If you know of cause

Anyone

Hey guys, the Pope Flexcore preamps are available. Based on what I've heard, these preamps sound great, can go in pretty much any instrument, and are highly customizable for your needs. Congrats Mike!

Rehearsed with a 16 piece big band yesterday. My main amp (Acoustic Image Coda) was stuck at another rehearsal space, so I played through my Phil Jones Briefcase. Sounded surprisingly good! Super punchy with lots of clarity. Great tone, and I was just at the right volume level for the band (volume was pretty much all the way up).

Had a handful of other rehearsals with the bass too. It's just perfect. Not too much else I need to say. It makes me happy

You are correct, sir.

Think selling a kidney would make a dent on a down payment?

IIRC that used to be owned by a TBer living in the UK. Part of me wishes I knew it was up for sale and the other part of me is glad I didnt!

Tonight's gonna be a blast......

I saw them last week. It was amazing

As a guy who owns a Fodera with a blue quilted finish, ash body, maple board, with pickups in the 70s positions...

I enjoyed this clip of the Flecktones on more than one level!

Like the kid from China who sold his kidney for an iPad 2?

The newer NYCs are supposed to be much improved, yet obviously not in the price range of the custom Foderas.

 

[growl_pig]

yes in Singapore
