Love it!!!
I also love your tunes!! You're writing the exact music I'm trying to!
Congrats man! I'm very VERY jealous.
Thanks everyone.
Played a short gig tonight with it and it was a joy to play.... it will still take a little getting used to.
It does have the hipshot bridge, I did that because I wanted 17mm spacing and the fodera bridge could not do that.
the pickups are duncans but they were made a little smaller for the spacing and so they are in EMG cases (I think) Joey told me they were bartolini P4 cases but they look like EMG to me..... anyway, duncan dual coils.
The bass is completely passive. The layout is volume/ tone (stacked) pickup blend. the 3 switches are coil tap for neck pickup, coil tap for bridge pickup and standby. I put the switches where the preamp controls usually are so if i decide to add the preamp later it will be easy.
What I really love is the size of the bass, it is very small! I am finding it easier on my tiny fingers

It is not exactly the same but I love they way his bass looks. I tried to get him to sell it to me many times but he was not going to let it go.

Ryan, feel free to PM me, but I'd like to get your cd!
I've seriously been listening to "Rise" For the past two days.
Congrats on the new bass Ryan! =) I love that koa!
This makes me really excited and I can't wait until my bass is done.
Haven't posted here in a while. I was in NYC last Oct for the birth of my bass at Fodera.

Nice Choice! I've been revisiting my Lincoln Goines allot lately. Wonderful Bass!
Yes it is, I basically said "Build me what Lincoln plays". The only difference is that I have a little more radius in the fretboard. Also my pre has a Passive tone on the out side knob linc's is push pull defeat the pre.
