I'm not sure how this thing sat in the classifieds for so long, but it's finally mine. Wow, what a crazy bass!!

I remember years ago when they brought that to NAMM. Crazy beautiful bass.

Does that presentation have strap locks? Just curious as I don't think Anthony's personal basses have strap locks.

Congrats! Gorgeous bass and truly a piece of history.

Is that a 36"? If so, you are more of a man than I will ever be.

thanks for the kind words, guys....it's really exciting to look up and see it on my wall! It is indeed 36" and no it doesn't have straplocks. It was AJs 9th personal Presentation built for him in 2002. Not sure how long he had it before #10 came into play. Story goes that the 5A chestnut top was the nicest piece of a 350 yr old tree that was struck by lightning. But I'm having the guys at Fodera install the straplocks for me tomorrow so I can stand with it. The 36" scale is not as scary as you think, and I'm coming from a 33" scale Imperial....def going from 5 to 6 is a more difficult adjustment, IMO. Def a keeper, but I don't see it replacing my Imperial as #1 just yet....

Get a picture with both #9 and #10 at the shop!

Ah, I remember this bass fondly. I was lucky enough to own this bass from 2003-2005. AJ was kind enough to sign the back of the peghead for me at a 2004 Michel Camilo gig at Catalina's in LA.

#9 was my "gateway drug" to the Hybrid and the AJ PII. Enjoy!

Congrats Mitch.

Hi!
just got my first fodera, a yin yang standard, amazing!!
but i have a question, i think due to the weather the bass arrived and the frets and nut were almost green in colour, what can i do about it?

 

[iwearpumas]

Call Jason.

 

[dudi8]

Can he help me? Its not a new bass

 

[jberretta2000]

Hey guys! Somebody is selling a fodera NYC 5 string on here, can anybody tell me the history and quality of these instruments? Thanks in advance!!

 

[oldfretless]

Congrats Mitch! I'm not a 6er, but if anything could make me want to be, it would be that bass.

 

[iwearpumas]

Yeah, he may recommend a cleaning or may know the root of the issue.

ha I don't know about that, but I'm trying! It's an alder body, chestnut block, 5 piece maple neck (purpleheart stringers), 5A chestnut top, and pink ivory fb!
