Fodera Club Part X

I think that this will last me a while...

I was asking myself the same question since I saw some pics of Matthew playing that new mystery Bass.

Where exactly are said pics?

Got it. Thanks!

Cool - A Garrison 5 standard would be a great bass. It looks like a Pau Ferro fingerboard in the photos of Matt's bass but it's hard to tell.

Could be a popular bass!

 

[jumbodbassman]

what makes that bass special. looks like just another wonderful bass from Vinny's hands. What are we not seeing???

thank god that's a lefty, otherwise it's totally in my wheelhouse. (tho' i think it's overpriced.)

the bridge looks to be older than a 1990, tho'. so i wonder if that's the correct year. (i have a few basses of the 89-91 vintage with a newer style bridge.)

 

[jumbodbassman]

same bridge i had on my first generation 6 string that you had for a while. that was built in 85-86 time frame..

That's funny

 

[michele]

That's funny

Yeah.
First time I wish I'm lefty...

 

[Lennard III.]

(tho' i think it's overpriced.)

same here ! you'll have a hard time selling it for that price - but good luck


p.s. : I'm a lefty but I have a new one on order at the Brooklyn shop

 

[JAUQO III-X]

same here ! you'll have a hard time selling it for that price - but good luck :smug

It's not my bass.


And For what I've seen people selling Fodera's for how can any one say that it's overpriced?



Let's not forget that some people feel all Fodera's are over priced.

 

[steubig]

That's funny

used 6-string? one from around that same time period went for $5,100 on ebay about 6 months ago--and it was refurbished with a new pope pre and hardware. i bought an 89 6-string for way less that his asking price around the same time as well.

so, yeah, i think it's overpriced.

besides, most guys want the newer pickups/pre, the wooten/garrison/emperor body styles (see the standard series) and more ornate wood choices.

if the seller gets that price, that's great. i'll just be surprised.

I'm sure we can agree that none of us can say what a person is willing or not willing to pay for this Fodera or any Fodera. There are guys out there who actually like the older Fodera's and we shouldn't fault them for that.


Basically no different from guys who prefer pre EB/MM's ove the EB/MM's.


The 6 string that sold for $5100 was what that seller was probably willing to let it go for.

And as far as being surprised if the seller gets his asking price or close to it, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

nope. it was his minimum. i was watching it closely, cause i'm one of those guys who like that vintage. (it hit right when i was negotiating for the 89 bass i bought.)

and sure, someone may purchase it, but my recent experience shows me otherwise (there are some used 5-strings that have been languishing on ebay for a while).

i actually *track* for basses of this era because i'm somewhat obsessed with them. (another example, a guy in l.a. who had a right-hand twin to the bass you posted, couldn't get $5,500 for it and was selling it for months).

guess we can watch and enjoy the show.

But I'm sure we can agree that all it takes is that one person who is looking for that particular bass(or close to it) to come along and it's gone.

Everything sells for what people are willing to pay. You guys are both right. If you were to average the recent selling prices of 80-90's AJ6 this one seems overpriced.

pretty much my point.

and, yeah, a lefty who's dying to have this may pull the trigger on it.
