I've said it before, Jonno, but if you ever decide to sell that Emperor, PLEASE put me at the top of the list! :help:

Actually, that goes for the Atelier too - I miss that bass...
 
Ursus ???

Any News about the Lefty Empi ???

:) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you !

Well Jules yes and no so to speak.

I got some excuses why it´s not ready yet. Talked to Fodera yesterday, now it´s two weeks waiting, it´s the truth this time, my bass is in the spraybooth since one week ago, some problem there I think. What can i say? Latest pic available.
 
I'm game....

About numbering...serial would be tough. I currently have #85 (an 84 monarch) as well as my new Imperial 6 #2691. However I just sold my #40 (a 1983 Monarch)to Victor W (we call that bass TBFNG - the bass formerly known as Garey's :smug: ) And Brandin.....do you still have the 87 Monarch you got from me???

Anyways....here's mine:

Aloha, Garey

Hey Garey,
how's it going man? I was looking for a spot to talk about Fodera's... I will go through my pictures. I think I may have a good one of number 11.
talk to you soon

Like I said in a previous post here, I used to belong to that club because I used to own a fodera emperor II 5 string

But I'm going to belong again to this club because I have on order an imperial bona model

I can't wait to receive it (may 2009, maybe more...)
 
Does anybody here own any older Foderas? I would love to see some pics of older Foderas, especially any early 90's ones.

Here's my Emperor II.

I think it was made in about 1993. The serial # is in the very early 1400s.

Alder body, spalt maple top, ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan pups

In this photo it still has the original Fodera pre, but I put a Pope in there last year. If anyone wants to buy the original Fodera pre just let me know :)

Here's my 1986 Monarch 4-string. Zebrawood over Ash. Original Hazlab pre with Bart P/J pups. Plays and sounds like a dream. I found this on here three months back from a fellow TB'er. Serial of low 200's # puts her in early 1986.
