My Imperial

 

[Baryonyx]

Thats gorgeous! I love the pickup covers!

 

[gkbass13]

that is beautiful!!!!

+1 to the pickup covers....the birdseye offers such a cool contrast to the spalted top, even though both are lighter colored woods...very classy.

 

[brandinstroy]

Hey Niomosy, tell us more about your imperial

 

[Jules Forcella]

By now I've installed an ebony ramp between the pus and I'm waiting on my d-tuner.....

Hi,

I had the original Gold control knobs on my Imperial replaced for these quilted maple ones.

i put a ramp om my fodera and had the frets stoned, its a 2002 and they needed a little bit of flattening out. i really like the ramp though, it gives a nice playing surface and i think it just adds a little something to the looks of the bass.

Those knobs are sick....Did Fodera do those for you and if so what did they run you?

Thanks, and no, I got the knobs from my good friend Mr. David Beasley at the Grooveshoppe, for a not-too-exorbitant price.

Kind regards,

Here's a picture of the gentleman fitting the knobs out himself, testimony to sterling service:
