Jean that bass's design really is something out of this world.

NASA ...we have ignition ... love the row of toggle switches ... if this were sitting in front of me, I'd probably be tempted to flip one (I wonder what this switch does?)

 

[BassAgent]

That bass is called The Hideous Claw (it's the inlay on the fretboard), an I think that is not because it's so beautiful

Can I get in on this??

You're from MN, but you're a Bears fan?

Actually, I'm just curious, how do you like that Z? I've been asked about these, 'cause I'm a big MTD fan, but have never checked one of these out.

Buckeye is so soft that it won't really do anything to the tone...

Foderas come in two flavours, Deluxe (set neck) and elite (neck through)

you do also get bolt on Emporers and Monarchs but they are not as common.

i think that most Emporer IIs are neckthrough, come to think of it i dont think i have ever seen a Deluxe Emporer II or Imperial for that matter.
