I don't know if you would be able to wind the B string without the outer rap making contact with the peg. That would be my only concern.
What stinks is I just changed a set out and would have been happy to send the old set to you to give it a try.
Thanks anyway man, I just got an Email from Fodera that basically let me know that they wouldn't work for me, just too long, too bad. Wish they would consider making a shorter version! One of these days I will have my Fodera.

Wayne. That sounds like an awesome build. Have there been any soundclips or videos floating around where one could hear your Hybrid #1 in action? I've been dying to catch a glimpse.

E5S #64 to be shipped out tomorrow on its journey to my neck of the woods. Finally
I can stop watching old You Tube videos and play my own. Can't wait.

that's a good idea - I would take an extended headstock for each tuner - that would be five headstocks in a row
If it is as good as my #65, you will love it.
Be real cool to A/B and compare them but Toronto and Hawaii aren't exactly around the corner!
Post your impressions when you get it.
Congrats!
Good catch.
This is the bass I'd use for my "nu-fusion-death-pop" project on the moon in 2035. Keep an eye out for that one, folks!

No worries I'll post up, hopefully in a week or so. What I'm really curious is how the sound compares to my Fbass BN5, which I really love it's sound and I'm sure the E5S will be a compliment to to arsenal. LOL
I see that you're waiting on a new build, very cool. I think I'll have to wait a bit for the financial wounds to heal a bit.
Dream Fodera would be:
Mg4
Black ebony top
Ash body
Birdseye fingerboard
Black stone block inlays
Fodera jazz pups
Monarch layout

Unless you're really into the sound of cats in heat, you don't want to hear me on a 36" fretless... 35" would be more like it.
Thinking more along the lines of a Benedetto Sinfonietta Archtop guitar

I find that the E5S cuts better in the mix than the BN5 I played briefly. Also more versatile IME. George makes great basses though, but I think Fodera is at a different level. Just IMO.
I am "financing" the Monarch build by selling most of my other gear and saving some $$$$ too. A tiny bit uncomfortable, but can one really put a price on a cure for GAS?
Hey guys
Trying to decide on a Fodera Emperor 5 or a Mayones Pi 4.
I guess there's a lot of bias here, but what advice would you give?

Forgetting about physics, concepts, etc...
If you are going to have a B-string on a 33" scale instrument I think that it makes sense. It absolutely cannot hurt and, depending on who you talk to, it might help. For all other configurations there's really no need...but again, it absolutely cannot hurt.

We will pretty much make anything (within rason) if you buy 10 sets. I had some AJ-style exposed core sets made for me to try on my 34" scale Monarchs.

Hey there gang! I am going to be scarce for the next week as Joey and I are traveling to Japan to visit our friends / distributor there. I may be able to check in once or twice, but if not, I'll be back this time next week!
