That was a KILLER Vid!!! We NEVER get a chance to see the cases get opened for the first time...I sent it around to the entire shop. It gave me shivers and I already knew what the bass looked like!!!
Enjoy man, we wish you MANY great gigs with it!!

Thanks a lot fellas! I guess I expected that was gonna be a pretty special moment. My coworkers knew the story, so I got it delivered to work, took it out of the box and brought it upstairs to show them thinking that they'd share that moment. Then thought about using my phone to make a vid. Glad I thought about it in time!
Out of the case it plays as good as any bass I've ever had!

Even the case looks very nice!
Thanks for sharing. Now we just need to hear you play it!

Hi, steubig.
We park ours in the winter so I can drive a 4-wheel drive Honda Ridgeline, then drive it again in the spring. I always love going back to it.

Off topic, but I actually had one of the first 10 on the East Coast when they brought in the Gen 1 Prii. I have had one every since. Actually my family was on the cover of the NY Times Lifestyle Section for it way back when...LOL!

I sometimes help out at a local showroom that sells Fodera and last week I sold a particularly nice mahogany body, walnut top, ebony board Emperor 5 to a guy who'd flown over 1,000 miles just to try it.
We spent about 2-3 hours going over things, discussing all things Fodera an trying it through a few different amp / cab set-ups.
He decided it was 'the one' and agreed the deal - he then gave it a great big kiss before we packed it away
Does that trump a hug?
Okay, I'm thinking of the new Ford Mustang GT500 that's coming out in the spring...650HP and 200+mph off the showroom floor... Do I get put in the corner for considering that beast??
