I guys got a really great news my fusion band Hologram got prestige Porin award (Croatian Grammy) for "Best Jazz Composition" in 2011!
So happy about it and wanted to share that with you.
here is the statue
and the moment we (my drummer and me) came to stage!
Thanks all, wow that was a beautiful night.
Hou sure, I think now I know which one it will be....
just need more time to play my MG Imperial, and then the new one will be on order
congrats. so cool...
So what do you guys think about the Foders Standard 5? It looks great but has anyone played one?
Emperor Std: I'd have to play it and hear for myself. Listening to the Youtube video bassclub chicago put up, I wasn't real impressed with the tone.

I heard Tom Kennedy live with mike stern last month and he was playing his Emperor Std 5. It sounded amazing. I was completely blown away by his tone.

I don't think we should rely on youtube videos for an accurate analysis on tone.
Almost every youtube video I've watched of fodera, except maybe janek's, I've said, ehh the tone's not that great. Then I played one....WOW, wayyyy different than some crappy quality youtube video. There is no way some crappy quality youtube video can translate the complex tone of any instrument, never mind a work of art like a fodera, they have to be played and heard in person to be understood. Now I've got the fodera bug and have two on the way.
Yeah, I don't like the tone of my own voice on those crappy vids by crappy camera phones, let alone my Fodera.
I'll deliver a full report of the Emperor 5 Standard when I pick mine up next month. Until then I look forward to youtube, at the very least!
I played the prototype at bpl last oct. Fodera through and through. I'm not a wide (19mm) spaced 5-string guy and I prefer the monarch shape to emperor. But otherwise, a no-brainier if you want a less expensive entry into Fodera. Incredibly comfortable neck and plenty of tones on tap.
Yep, that's why I said I'd have to play and hear it for myself. But, being that I typically don't like ash body basses, it's probably not for me.
Maryland is so much better than Connecticut. Here in Potomac visiting family, and it's a wildly better place. Wow.
I have to adjust my Fodera like every two months in CT. Back in northern California, I set it up when it arrived and never had to mess with it again.
I blame the location.

Variance in climate sucks for musical instruments. It was snowing here in NL two weeks ago, and today I was out jogging in shorts in 20-degree (Celsius) weather. Tomorrow might be a monsoon.
I have to adjust my Fender (and my upright) every few weeks in the April-May months. It usually levels out in June.
It would be nice to live in California...

I'm hyper sensitive to adjustments on my electrics, but I don't think I've adjusted my upright in 8 years. I'll be able to play it equally well in whatever state it's in (though it doesn't move much).
...Which probably says how bad I am.

So, other than Jason(because you are the luckiest man in the world of bass players), who here has owned a YY Deluxe and a YY Standard? Thoughts about the differences? Preference?
I know they are both Monarchs(I have owned 2 monarchs), I just want some more specific info of the differences between the Deluxe and Standard playability, tone, and any other thoughts.
Thanks, guys. Look forward to any input.
