Fodera Club Part XX

[TheShape101]

Holy Jamoly there is a TON of used foderas up for sale on their website. Did someone just cash in their collection for retirement or something?

Yes, it's not doing anything for my GAS! I'm contemplating selling my VW Classic to fund a new build!

 

[Just Thumpin']

Actually, we just had several long-time Fodera players all decide to trade-in their older Foderas towards new builds all at the same time. There's not a bad apple in the bunch as all of them have been lovingly restored to meet our CPO criteria.

All I can say is what a perfect time for someone who is about to buy a fodera, so many options!

Nah, that's just extreme concentration. Guitar player face is kind of like someone dropped a brick on your foot and kicked you in the cajoles at the same time. It gets better when note bending. LOL

the original style. the zebrawood over maple 6 string you actually had for a while. with the double bass inlays on the fretboard.

that's what i thought . . . a boy can dream can't he?

not what i'm looking for, but that bass has some serious low end . . . and i also quite heavy,iirc.

are you sure it's 85? i would think it's more like mid-84? (ser 121?)

 

[jumbodbassman]

probably 84. first batch of 3 six's Vinny built. serial number was about that. low end was off the charts.....

yeah, i've been tracking that. i wonder if non-euro guys can get the vat taken off of that. also need to see if it's a single or dual truss rod.

do you know the owner?

 

[asbs]

I suppose that there is no vat refundable on seconds hands goods in europe.
Also it is a consignation, so the shop/ business is not the owner.
And only a business could be able to sale taxe free.

Sorry about that...

But maybe you could bargain a little bit.

Sounds like it was Mike Bendy. They play together in the Hipster Assassins.

do people who are not stores have to charge vat on a private sale?

 

[asbs]

They do it as there is no choice for them.
They paid the vat, and no way for them to get it back from the gorvement...

Only business with vat number can ask for taxes returns when they export out of EU.

correct, that would be Mike Bendy. Dude can play! I think he used to work with Fodera at one point and he was the owner of that top-less Imperial 5 that Felix took on the road for that first leg of the yellow jackets tour before his current Emperor II 6....

I think I may have seen one or two of them on my tour of the factory. This should go without saying, but they look better in person. And I saw them before their restoration.
