Couldn't help it...... had to have it...... Thanks EBAY (and Guy, if you are out there) ! ! Maybe I'll get to play it when the kids are done ! !
Reminds me of a Zon Hyperbass... Fodera eh? Not bad. What kinda guts does it have? (Wooden(?) pups and 3 switches?) How does she handle? With that "headstock extened" B, do you think/find there's any increase intension, like Fodera claims? And, hey, cute kids!
Very nice, onebassplayer! I thought that my GAS was cured, but that thing is making me crave a Fodera.
Hey Brendan.... Horse Chestnut top with an Alder body (my preference for bass bodies). The Pope preamp is set up like this: Volume and Shape (or whatever the hell you call it) - concentric knob. Pan Treble Bass Mid Sweep 3 Switches - Pream on/off Passive/Active Single/Double Coil This one does not have the extended low B, but the Foderas I have played with the extended B haven't been much different that this one. I own a 4 & 5 Fodera in addition to this one, but this one sounds and plays much better. Don't know if it's the single cut away or not, but man this thing is a player. I was actually suprised ! !
That is one absolutely gorgeous bass!!! Nice top!!! And your kids are beautiful too! Congratulations!
Price of a Fodera off of Ebay - A couple of thousand. The looks on the faces of your girls - priceless!
It's truly a brilliant looking bass, congrats. I hope you're as happy with it as your kids seem to be. Cute kids, by the way.
Wow! Beautiful kids! (and bass ) What's the difference between preamp on/off and active/passive? Jeff
onebassplayer, Nice catch. I love the top on that bass. I'm also curious about the diff between preamp on/off and passive / active. Peace, James
WOW, Awesome top. Great looking bass!!!!!! <img width=400 src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1174383&a=8647027&p=51795475&Sequence=0&res=high"> This is the 1st pic I took w/my kids Sadowsky. My daughter has that "Why won't daddy let me play w/my bass" look on her face.
Man that is a real nice bass. I think you should donate your other two foderas to the support Jim as he makes his bass career in college fund ... all donations welcome... esp.... another MM stingray or sterling. FODERA, alembic, Peavey cirrus.. Zon.... a Zon fretless..... oh anybass will do. nothing will be turned down
Thanks alot Onebassplaer! I was just beginning to kick my bass porn problem, then you up and do this! You'll be getting a therapy bill. Cute kids, too. My 8 year old son tells people that he too, has a Warwick deal. Ah kids.
