Fodera Club Part XIV

[Kevin McKee]

OK Jason, if you could only keep one for performing with, which one would it be?

If I could only keep one it would be the 2008 YY and this is the one that I take out most often. Second up has been the Brazilian RW topped one since I got it last year.

hey, someone brought a ringer in

I think the rosewood top one is probably my favorite though hard to choose. The crotch walnut top on the '96 looks stunning.

I'd take that Buckeye one for sure.

I know that you guys have been asking me for a Family Snapshot going back to something like the Fodera Club Part IV or V. Sorry it took so long and sorry that I could not fit them all in one photo...

feel . . . . so . . . . inadequate.

Thank you for posting the pictures Jason. My favorites are your last two The Braz. rw. and the Olive Monarchs.

Wow, what a bunch of basses. I think the price of your insurance policy would terrify me.

What terrifies me more is my wife. Whenever we go through a rough patch financially I get the lock changed on the studio door! She has actually been amazingly accepting of my lunacy over the years. I guess that's why we just celebrated our 20th anniversary this year!!

Jason you have a great collection. I can't wait to show my wife how over the top insane and completely irresponsible you are -- it will make me look much better! ;-)

 

[Just Thumpin']

I seem to have played that role throughout much of my life...starting in college! LOL

as my dad used to say to me, "son, you're not useless...you can always serve as a bad example."

 

[Just Thumpin']

It is a very, very good thing that we did not know one another when we were in college...

i was fine in college. It was the 4 years between HS and college that might have been...umm...interesting.

No wonder you have been using the Purpleheart YY as your avatar for so long!

 

[basswalker2004]

Thanks. The only one that does not get regular playing time is the 1984. That one is a time capsule piece.

Love your collection Jason. They couldn't be in better hands. I gotta get mine down to the shop some day for a good pic but here is a rough one.. Ignore the man holding it up. LOL
