You are the Foderaman!
I've enjoyed seeing all your Foderas..and this one will be so sweet too.
What kind of rosewood are they using these days?
When do you expect to have it done?
Congrats Miko.....
Cheers,
Mitch
Thanks Mitch! I'm really looking forward to this bass since it is my own specs up to the smallest detail.
For rosewood, they've got Indian and Brazilian. Indian is standard and Brazilian is an upcharge. I'm going with Indian but still thinking if I should also choose Pao Ferro.
No ETA yet for my bass but hopefully sometime next year.
Are you gonna be with George again at NAMM?

Dang Ryan,
That's killer! Nice rig too! That's exactly what I use on pretty much every gig. I also got a kick out of the pic of the FedEx truck. The pic of the unopened box is great too. So much "potential energy" as engineers would call it. There's something about the sight of an unopened box, knowing there's a new instrument inside (especially a new Fodera - I can't imagine!), that makes me act like a toddler again.
All the best and I hope you enjoy that beast! I'd love to see you play when you're in NYC again. It'd be nice to see the instrument too!

^That fingerboard is ridiculous! 
I've never seen a Fodera with a Zebrawood fingerboard!
I used to have a 1989 Emperor that I really miss now. Had I known I would be living in Brooklyn a few years later, I would've held onto it! Only after I visited the shop and talked with Joey about it did I fully realize what I had done. It was a pretty unique. It had an Ebony top and fingerboard with a Mahogany body. Even though I'm a little sore about it, four strings aren't really my thing anymore so maybe it's for the better.
Breaking up is hard to do!

Aha! I thought it might've been something like that too maybe.
Beautiful nonetheless!

it's not zebrawood, it's pale moon ebony, and this bass gotta be ridiculously expensive
It was not too expensive it cost me 2500.00 GBP
I had serious GAS about this early Monarch on Ebay last week,but missed it

***.... A pale moon ebony plank good for a top only cost 1100 $ US. So you're bass was an incredible deal.
Didn't know you'd gone for the bleached look lately Mark! Though IIRC I've seen a photo of you with your Spector bass with bleached hair! Still, very nice bass you've got (or had) there!
Nice to hear from you Chris.I sold the Fodera nearly 2 years ago,thenI had a number of dumb blonde moments.
now I,m just dumb,,, and Grey LOL!!
