I feel you man. I have been waiting almost 6 months for my custom Spector's, and it took almost a year to convince them to make them for me in the first place! The up side is that I should see them within a few weeks. WOOHOO! The waiting SUCKS!

I ordered my Imperial 5 back in March. I was originally quoted 4-6 months with a neck they had that was mostly done already. Heh, so much for that. I still don't have it. Last week I called the place I ordered it through and they're calling Fodera again to find out what's going on. I was told that Fodera was going to send an email explaining the delays. Never saw that, either :(

It's frustrating. I was surprised at the 4-6 month timeline when they quoted it to me. I figured it would be delayed and so far I'm not too surprised. At this point I figure March is a likely timeline. I hope they'll continue working on it but with the holidays here and NAMM coming up, I'm not sure how much time my baby will get until February or so. Of course, I'd love if it showed up before Christmas but the chances of that seem pretty slim :bawl:

Maybe Fodera could get me into NAMM so I can at least see some other Fodera :D ;)

Yes - It is along wait but when you get your Fodera you will be in bassheaven! Fodera are some of the greats basses on this planet. They are very easy to play and the sound is great!!!
My Fodera Monarch Deluxe 4 was also delayed and I thougth it never would be done. I got a mail from Mika/Fodera where she explained the delay. I can send it to you PM fore those who want it.

In the new year I will order a Imperial 5 or Monarch 5 and hopeful get it in 2006 :D

Well I have two points here - one, is that I am probably going to order a Fodera MG 5 very soon - and two, having just waited for well over a year for my custom fretless 5 I am hardened to the possiblility that I may well have to wait over a year to see te Fodera.

All I can add in sympathy to you and anyone else waiting for a new bass is that when it arrives, and it really is the next best bass (for you) in the world ever - the waiting is all worth it - I was tearing my hair out when I was waiting for this guy to finish my fretless but now I have it I can say this is MY bass made for ME - don't worry it will be worth it.

Hang in there man.

Hi Mikkel,

I support you, for I just got my new 5er last week after 5 months... :D
Play your Morch bass, the time will get shorter.

I'm surprised with your option "ash" for neck :hmm: first time for me to hear about that.
I thought you should go for Fodera more classical specs choice : 34' scale, etc...
If a day you would go back and sell it for a Morch ;)
