Fodera Club Part XI

[jumbodbassman]

i remember that bass in the shop because it was very different with the solid body. enjoy.... Looks like maybe a different circuit

 

[Just Thumpin']

It's a great bass. It was owned and played by Mike Bendy (who worked at the shop for a while). He's a great player and sounded fantastic on this bass. I think you will dig it!

Here you go then

Congrats on the beautiful acquisition. It's really something, I love the look of the older Foderas - especially that wooden butterfly. Is it a neck-through or dovetail joint with a 5-piece body?

A while ago you said( well, obviously.. wrote in a post...) that there was an instrument in the works on which a couple of new for fodera things were going to be tried and possibly applied to a new AJ bass.
Any news on that instrument?
Is it possibly in the NB section already and I've just missed it?

I thought that was Mike Bendy's old bass. Mike's such a great player.

Curt and 5stringdan...thanks so much for the kind words. We really have a wonderful team of people here and I never feel like my work at Fodera is "work." Being involved here and helping to make positive change each and every day is a very special gift that I have been given and it always makes me smile when people notice that we are, indeed, improving.

Regards,

J

Jason,

speaking of your work at Fodera and, in other posts, the schedule - it seems that the one thing that is definitely behind schedule is your book

So how about some details on that Tony Grey bass? So far I've heard that it's 33 scale 4-string Monarch shaped with a deep cutaway...

Hahaha- I would find that combination humorous. And then I would cry. Probably for a while.

Is Tony touring with any band beyond his own project these days? I actually preferred him over AJ in Hiromi's band (as blasphemous as it sounds).

Absolutely agreed. He's a much better fit for her music.

I received my 6 string Matt Garrison finally last weekend, right timing for this...........The unboxing moment is amazing and simply WOW after first see the new baby! ) I actually video taped it...

The bass sounds incredible, everything is attention to details, just some minor setups needed after a long flight. Vinny and the team completely nailed down what my requests, a compact 6 string with 33" scale length, 16.5 mm spacing, 5 string body.... They did it!! To those people who feel interested and curious how the 33" scale B string sounds, I can only tell it is AWESOME!!!

I don't know how to express my feeling and happiness on this bass... so here you go some pics.......
