...a long wait is over and my Fodera is believe it or not, ready
Congrats Ursus
best regards,
Jules
Honestly, the only thing stopping me from selling my car for a Fodera is because my parents sure as hell wouldn't let me and the fact that i'd be trying to live up to an instrument i don't deserve... yet 
By the way, i never see seymour-duncan dual coil pickups mentioned anywhere beside Fodera basses. Is there any other way to get these pups?

I dont know but i think these are pretty close to the ones Fodera uses?

Wow, that is easily one of the nicest Fodera basses I have ever seen. Very cool to see Barts in it!
My 1992 Anthony Jackson Contrabass...
Also, a beautiful bass you have there Brad! I've always been much more of a fan of the look of the singlecut Contrabasses as opposed to the singlecut models.
Absolutely gorgeous! Very similar to what mine will be like.Better arrive late than never.
Here I am with Vinnie & Joey at the Fodera shop receiving the bass of my life.

I wish, and wish, and wish some more, better get off this thread before I accedently buy something.
Excellent taste in a bass right there. If I ordered a Fodera it would have the exact same specs, by the way your buckeye burl top is beautiful. Congrats!
Those are great specs! A proven combination that just works for the tone we all dig.
How long did you have to wait?
Better arrive late than never.

Nice bass, but someone scribbled all over it (VBG!). Fodera's are growing on me!

Hi Steve,
when I bought my 4 string monarch in '83, Vinnie and Joey brought over a 6 string "anthony Jackson" model for me to check out as well. I only wish I could have bought that one as well. :-( But that being said, I would imagine that was one of the earliest 6's
Those early Fodera Contrabass guitars are like mythical items to me! if only I could see one in person!

It was awesome. Back then almost no one was playing them except Anthony. It was huge in comparison to my
64' p bass and the 4 string Monarch. I scared me just holding it.. I have an original 1983 Fodera brouchure framed in my music room. My bass and I believe the 6 that I tried out are pictured. There is also a Fodera guitar in the pic.
I'll see if I can take a digital pic and upload, if you think anyone would be interested
I wish I could expect only a year wait! That's not bad at all in Fodera terms.
But it'll be worth it.
