Fodera Copy?

[kilum]

How much does it really worth?
I can't afford a Fodera Vic's Signature.
Does anyone know how much would be a copy of Vic Fodera ?

Blimey, I dont know of any manufacturers or luthiers who create fodera copies. Do they exist?? It's probally best to save up the $9000 - $9500 so that you can get a proper vic sig. fodera, Just my two cents.

Can u donate 5.000 ? =]

Some luthiers can provide sound and design very similar to Fodera (R-Bass comes first in mind), but are you after the sound, the looks or both? Nothing will sound like a Fodera but a Fodera. On the other hand, several high end PJ EMG equipped basses will sound VERY similar to a VW Fodera

in my opinion I'd rather save the money up and buy a proper fodera. that way you cant go wrong and you will have a great instrument that you will love throughout your life, trust me ive played a fodera and i instantly fell in love with it, but sadly i didnt have the money.

That can't be true, your telling me if I someone were to get a luthier who used the same woods, same design and same pickups it wouldn't sound like a fodera albeit just cheaper. I imagine a skilled luthier could make a great copy for 3000$. The one thing thats tricky is that ebony top that also seems to spread on the fretboard.

What factor would not make it sound any different? Do the luthiers at Fodera have magic fingers or something?

I have owned an R-Bass 5 that was on par with my Fodera Emperor Deluxe 5, so I speak from experience. My Stambaugh was very Fodera-ish as well

 

[spade2you]
