Fodera Club Part XVI

[curt basner]

Yeah, I remember talking with Jason, and he mentioned some Brazilian rosewood tops they had were $2-3k, beauty has quite a price sometimes.

Not to be talking specifics on pricing here, but based on my experience, and with the slight price increases as of 01/01/12 (that's January 1, 2012 for you European guys), I'd expect an especially lovely Braz top to be at least $3K. But that's just me talking out my a**. Jason is always THE answer man.

Now this right here is GORGEOUS, Not over the top or anything.....Just PERFECT! I need to start saving up for an elite, it is by far my favorite of all FODERAS.

Elite is "THE" Fodera for me. Dont really care for the dovetails unless it is a YY. Never played a BO, though.

Thanks man!
I'm not interested into the crazy distortion thing, tubes are for buttery, rich clean tone in my book.
So from what I've read Monique is on my future.

Michele,

I have owned multiple 700RB-II (at least 3) and Ampeg (SVT-CL, SVT-VR, SVT-II, vintage SVTs) tube amps and think Monique is better than anything made by either. Just IMO/IME, but Monique really does give big tube warmth but with super clear articulation. Sounds almost like a very articulate SVT.

Also, it seems to work with any bass.... My vintage Fenders, Modulus, MTD 535, Spector, etc (my Fodera won't be delivered until February).

Also, it isn't super expensive IMO. I run mine with a $350 (new) Crest poweramp and it sounds amazing and has more than enough headroom.

The only thing Monique won't do is crazy raunchy distortion, but there are pedals for that!

Truly a great amp IMO. I have no need for anything else.

I have listed my Fodera for sale, many who follow this thread may be interested. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the listing here, but if not I'll delete this.

Damn you´re killing me here... No 15k lying around

 

[gkbass13]

Ugh. That AJ is amazing!

 

[Mitchthebassplayer]

wow

 

[TapyTap]

Just keep in mind that unlike Buckeye Burl, Brazilian Rosewood is just about the best tone wood you can get.

Not if you want a Maple tone.

Ugh. That AJ is amazing!

+1 I owned this bass before JSBarber. It is a fantastic instrument and worth every penny. The signature on the peghead occurred when I met AJ at a Michel Camilo performance in LA.

 

[anonymous111813]

BR is just a great sounding an resonating wood. If you want something else, ok.

Maybe take a look at this: Invalid Link Removed

Folks,

I am starting to dig ramps on 5ers and am contemplating getting one made for my soon to be delivered Emperor Standard. Any recommendations for sources that do not charge a fortune for a ramp?

Thx!

 

[Randyt]

I would ask Fodera (Jason) to make you one or...Fbass (Hamilton, Ontario,) can make you one!

 

[iwearpumas]

I just wanted to say that the staff at Fodera are awesome.

George will make a ramp for a Fodera? Cool.

I will also talk to Fodera! Thx.

What's a fortune? I got mine from http://dknob.com/puramp.html

 

[gkbass13]

I'm having a local woodworker craft me one. Wenge and Ebony....should be cool. I will post pics when it is completed.

 

[DirtPoorRobins]

So did anyone else catch that premier guitar stated that the 30th anniversary monarchs will be the basis for a new monarch standard? Did they misquote Fodera, or is it true? They also stated that they are intorducing a new guitar line at NAMM this year.

 

[nostatic]

I think they hinted at a 6-string standard.
