I think I need to take new pictures.

always in.
in age order #21 through MS4 #57. The 2 in middle have new electronics not yet reflected.
I love that PJ Emperor.
I still feel like I'm a "one and done" kinda' guy, but time will tell. About the only other thing I might consider someday is an EMG based model for the more sizzly sound. But not really on my radar right now.I think I need to take new pictures.

You know, a wait for a Custom Fodera is very long, but in a weird way, its fun. I sorta want to do it again.
In...
I may be a reprobate, but I think that would look better without the ramp. That top is gorgeous, shame to hide any of it.
My E5S is such a great bass. Still loving it at 6 months!!
My Emperor custom should be finish in 11.5 months.

as you know, you're being a reprobate has nothing to do with your opinion on the ramp.
Oh, I totally agree.
Although I haven't even seen it without, that top would look better without for sure.Worst mistake I made was getting that damned ramp.
Now that I have played with a ramp for a couple of months, I don't like playing my old Fenders at all. My next Fodera also has a ramp. My RA is a different story. The action is higher and I play it differently.
I just love how it feels. Look out Garrison!
I'll be in between July and September! My favorite body shape of any manufacture is the Emperor. But I've got to say, the Monarch is really growing on me. I think my initial problem with it was that it reminded too much of a Zon Sonus or Ibanez Soundgear in looks. Don't hate me for that comparison. The Fodera is way nicer looking, playing, and built better than the Ibanez for sure. Being a jazz bass guy the Emperor speaks to me more but I've been playing a P-bass a lot lately and that may be why I'm really liking the Monarch now.
I understand I'm getting closer to the finish line on another bass,and my Fodera is due in late August. I sure gives you something to look forward to!
Looks like the same spec as Vic's bass just with a Rosewood top and no tulip inlay on the 24th fret. It really sings!
Definitely, I think because I have something to look forward to, it makes it fun.
Brand new upgraded preamp and sweet older 85 era emg's. bass is sweet sounding for sure.
