Fodera Club Part XXVI

[Christian Houmann]

Three.

Crazy I think I only know the Holly MG! What specs are the others?

 

[iwearpumas]

I cant afford 3 on order.

 

[oldfretless]

Is no one talking about the NYC contest because they don't want anyone to know about it?

 

[Mitchthebassplayer]

I'm still not 100% clear on the contest....is there an actual way to enter, or do you just have to be a club member and they pick randomly?

 

[steubig]

i think they're sending out an e-mail to all fodera club folks (if you've registered at their site, not this one). sometime soon, i think.

 

[20db pad]

faintly remember seeing something saying that the entry form will be available Thursday (tomorrow)...

 

[pickles]

I was wondering what are the best amp/cabinets for fodera basses in peoples humble opinions?

I have been looking at Glockenklang, Thunderfunk, and Walter Woods recently, but would love to get some insight from other people. I play a lot of funk and jazz. Lots of slapping and tapping.

My favorite with my ES5 is my mesa/boogie walkabout and PH210. Adds the right gutsy oomph with good clarity and honesty.

 

[Just Thumpin']

As long as you are a Club Fodera Member, you will be sent a Club Fodera email today (Thursday) with complete instructions for entering. The first step, however, is to make sure that you are a Club Fodera Member so that you get that email...

[Mitchthebassplayer]

Right on....then I patiently await my email!

The FIRST rule about the club is you don't talk about the club...

 

[DirtPoorRobins]

I'm almost ready to ask Jason about an update and just check in on my abnormally customized OCD bass. It's about 7 weeks away from completion I assume. I think they start carving the body about 4-5 weeks out.

Between my custom shaped Matt garrison double cut away bolt on, extended upper horn, specific neck shape with feeler gauges, moveable pickup tray, bridge placement, three way toggle switch, I can be pretty high maintenance. I've been good and left the shop alone since September though. I'm getting really excited about my "Swiss army knife" bass that should cover every conceivable tone I would like.

What contest?

 

[GHOST AT]

I just got off the phone with Glenn at Austin Bass Traders. This is surreal!! After 17 years of drooling and dreaming of Foderas it looks like I will be joining the club. Jason I look forward to talking to you soon.

I was wondering when your bass was done. Really looking foreward to see it

 

[DirtPoorRobins]

Yeah me too, i think the bass has a lot of very useful features for the gigging blue collar bassist, and ultimate ergonomics for me personally.

 

[Baird6869]

Entered. Is there an early bird prize?

 

[Mitchthebassplayer]

interesting....no email yet....

oooo nevermind....got it!

 

[Vic]

Yeah, give me your coordinates and I'll let you have it.
