Fodera Club Part XXVII

I actually talk with mike and since they are still waiting on cases I asked him if it's possible to switch to black hardware, he is going to find out. Standing by on that one.

I dig the gold. Looks amazing.

Here's my baby 2012 Imperial II elite.

I remember ogling that bass in the gallery ahead of my first order. Stunning instrument!

I was looking at a 2007 Richard Bona. It's a 19mm bridge but adjustable. Are bridges of that era able to get down to 17.5mm spacing?

Hey Folks! Trying out a different look with a black Pickguard… original white attached… not sure which one I prefer… thoughts? lol…

Crazy talk but imagine an all-matte black Emperor with ebony fretboard, black hardware, and blacked-out neck and instead of a butterfly inlay, they did a death's head moth. Some Behemoth or Mgla or black metal in a similar vein would look & sound epic being played on that.

White, for sure. The black looks rad, though, too.

You have almost the exact specs I'm having for my custom, due in the next month (hopefully). Love that purple!

Sweet! Lightweight Ash with Maple bolt on.. SD single coil pickups… Standard pre, and it works very well with this bass… I'm getting a new standard classic P bass made with the same exact specs (except pickup obviously)…

Both look great. I don't think there is a clear winner. But my preference is white because I like how it pops against the purple and how it complements the silver hardware.

I think both options are great! That said, my vote is for black pearl.

 

[Joelc73]

I vote white

Close! Not seeing the death's head moth instead of the butterfly though

Holy cow that drive pedal is sick

fwiw, when they made me my headless, i kind of wanted to call it the "gypsy moth"…

Slapped a set of DR DDTs 50-110 with the 130 off a HI Beams set on my Ryan Martinie Standard, and have been running through some L.D. 50 songs. It's been a long time since I've had a bass strung up this heavy. Set up was a breeze and the neck is rock solid stable. Tuned F# B F# B E

 

[NeonVomit]

I got a set of strings from Temu for like $5, I'm gonna put them on my Monarch and see what happens lol

uh… okay. (maybe my expectations will be in error.)

btw, i've heard the main gripe about temu is that they mine the crap out of your data. not sure if that's true, just reporting…

I think the black makes the purple pop! I vote black!

Been in the studio all week and there is never a time when this bass doesn't just floor me.

They probably do, but my data will be nothing but a disappointment to them, just like everything else.
