I'm all atwitter - I'm picking my new Viceroy-shape up tomorrow at BSD. They're closed Mondays, but Chris is going to pick it up at Fedex and bring it in for me. Customer service, anyone?
Since I got prodded here this week, I finally got around to reviewing my new Imperial on youtube. Please visit if you want to check it out.
I always like others reviews and wanted to contribute to the bass community, especially the Fodera people!

Thanks for the review Robin! Very nice and consistent tone throughout the range of the instrument. Would of liked to hear more on that B string, but the few notes sounded tight. I personally don't mind the look of the extended B headstock at all, and will probably be getting one on my bass as well. Cheers!
nice bass Robin. I think I prefer the emperor 2 you had. It seems like it had a richer sound and a much better B string. Of course I am sure it sounds better in person than on the speakers I am listening to it on.
Nice bass, video and playing Robin. I think the real tone doesn't come through on a YT video, but it's a great demo of the variety of sounds. For me, the worst part about playing a Fodera is that I used to get a lot of comments about my playing. Lately all I get is "nice tone".
Thank you so much fir taking time out of your busy schedule ti share that video. The new bass is sexxay. Of course, your playing and the bass sound fantastic. Killer low B.....play it in good health.
And btw, I was just joking when I said I would come by your house and rape your goats if you did not hurry up and post this.

Here's what an all ash imperial sounds like after a hard night on the road. Lol
I was meant to buy that bass a few weeks ago but there was a bit of confusion and I didn't get it!
Ah well, new order going through this week instead.

Did Bendy have it for sale? I know there is a waiting list on that bass. Comes with serious mojo!
But I think where you may be confused is that "I" was supposed to be given that bass several years ago.
Congrats on the new order! Specs?
Haha, ya I know. Mike had someone selling it for him and I sorted out something with Mike but the guy selling it never got Mikes message and agreed a sale with someone else. No-ones fault, it happens unfortunately.
So far, my new specs are:
Body Shape: Monarch Deluxe (compact)
Scale Length: 33"
# of Frets: 24
# of Strings: 5 (17.5mm spacing)
Peghead type: Modern 2+3
Top: Spalted Maple
Body Wood: Walnut
Fingerboard: Ebony???
Thin/Fast neck
Control Layout: Monarch
Pickups: Duncan Dual Coils/Ramp
Hardware: Black
Extras: Drop-D Tuner
These will probably change a bit before production starts so we'll see.
thanks man.. nice bass, good review and good playing. You covered it all..
cheers
