Fodera Club Part XX

I actually considered having all of my basses cremated with me, but that would be a waste and disservice so society. Most likely I will just pass them down to my kids/grandkids if they play bass. If not, to my students.

:eek::scowl::bawl::D:bassist:

You never own a fine instrument, you simply borrow it from future generations. These bad boys deserve to be played 1000 years from now.
 
Hmm, separate look and sound it's a difficult task. Specially when I know that my sound is more bolt-on-ish and my shape preference is more EII.

By the way, I like the sound of Christoph Victor Kaiser's imperial (from Jazz Pistols) :bassist: I don't know what's the body wood, but the maple fingerboard rules :D

Sénior, you better listen to what I've written to you on FB - or you will find yourself in a situation again that is.... well...do you know the movie "Groundhog Day" ???? :D

Uncle Lenn's giving you a hint! Why not start again, re-think from the ground-up but forget about looks, just concentrate on the tone in mind, find audio samples as close to as possible that bear similarities to what you'd like to achieve then email Jason at the shop.

He will help you to breakdown and distinguish the component parts of the tone your trying to achieve with possible wood combinations and pup configurations. Don't set a deadline just ask as many questions as you need. Otherwise you will experience Ground Hog day.;)

Easy...
 
I really hope that my english sounds not that way for you guys :D:D:D

haha no definitely not :)

I studied deutsch for years in school and it's SO different from english! The way one forms their sentences can almost be backwards sometimes compared to english....not to mention all those massive compound nouns and having to know if it's der, dem, den, die, das, etc....and they say english is hard!
 
My fault, what I should have said is;

1. You know what body shape you like (EmpII)
2. You want a bolt-on

So now you can concentrate on the tone with those two things already in the bag!! I hope that make sense..:)

BThump, I don't speak a word of German so I sent your message to my German sister-in-law for translation and she replied;

Hi D, it's written in really bad German and the grammar' all over the place. We think he's saying "he lives in the area of Seattle and he thinks young people with Fodera's should get together."

Are you sure this isn't spam, why should somebody who lives in Seattle be writing about coming together with Foderas in bad German? Sounds dodgy...:hiding:, Lets get back to bad English before we really frighten the Germans.:smug:

Easy...


He lebe ich im Seattler Gebiet, wir sollten einen mehr jüngeren fodera haben kommen zusammen:hiding:
