Not open for further replies.
I know the first Monarch as I have played it a couple of times when it was here in the shop...

Monarch Deluxe
Indian Rosewood Top
Walnut Body
3-piece Maple Neck
Indian Rosewood FB

I cannot remember the pups off of the top of my head...

Regards,

J



Does anyone know the specs of Marcus Miller's fretless Foderas?

I love his playing and tone! marcus miller fretless - YouTube

Im excited for the plek... Congrats J. I just ordered my new fodera from the bass club last month.
Ebony top ash body, birdseye fb, ebony blocks, 33 inch scale emg jazz pups, 5 piece maple neck w ebony stringers. Super excited. This will be my 4th fodera. First i am having custom built. Still waiting on a production slot, but being patient.

Nice. Which body shape are you having?
 
Ebony top .

Macassar or Gaboon Ebony ?

If you're looking for a Gaboon Ebony top you could also have a look at the one that I have reserved for my upcoming Imperial - my final lock in is in 2 month or so and I will not go with an Ebony top (I've changed my mind 1-2 month after my order) - the top is even big enough to be used for a solid top (if I remember correctly) ... just ask Jason if you're interessted

:)
 
Just to be clear, we do NOT have a lot of Ebony that is large enough to do tops with...getting quality Ebony in those widths is becoming very hard...

yeah - so I guess if he's looking for a top like that and has not reserved one yet - why not offering him this rare opportunity :)

It would be a pleasure for me :)

Back in January there were some posts about Christian McBride's new Fodera:

I haven't seen any youtubes of him with his new Emperor Elite, but I did come across a youtube from a few years ago that shows what an awesome player he is. Just in case there are some folks here who aren't familiar with him, check this out:

Let's post one of him with his new Fodera when available.

Cheers,

Jim

For the request I made, I just wanna make sure the ramp look exactly like what you see in pic, if not, I just worry they will work out something like in the attached pic.

My bass go no Plek'd.

Thanks Tim, I'm going try and get a ramp like yours. I bet the set-up & action on your bass is 1st class even without Plek.

Enjoy...
