So I was perusing through reverb and came across this listing.

Back of the headstock is the place to sign imo. And my experience with Vic is that he would absolutely sign your instrument if you went to one of his camps or clinics. The only possible added value is the actual provenance and low serial number of the bass. But, not 2x new cost...

Weren't the first run of these limited to only 10 or 15?

If I'm being honest, I like Bass Central and I've ordered stuff from them before. But their prices are almost always on the high end of any scale, sometimes outrageously so. This one fits the bill.

This is exactly why I've never done business with them. Their prices are some of the highest I've seen.

they make fantastic instruments. The wood selection and hand made quality is worth every penny to me.
Just not 5 grand for a signature.

Is that where he came from? I've been wondering, but never cared enough to look it up. I'm not really in to musicians. I'm in to music. I just started hearing about him about a year ago. I've watched like 2 or so YouTube videos. He's pretty good. But, that's about as far as that went.

No, he's probably best known for being with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. But they're a very experimental jazz group with a niche following. Victor knows the drummer from DMB so the Flecktones were featured on the album that had Don't Drink the Water on it and toured with them a bit. That catapulted their visibility.

I think he was referring to Bass Central, not Fodera.

If anyone tried to sign my bass I'd be like "put the pen down and step away from the instrument"...

You wanted to know about the reverb, so here is one - tc electronics hall of fame, with tone print. Pretty nice in using and price. Why the hell do you need smb. signe on a fx pedal.

That is what I was thinking.
I mean a Jimmy Hendrix signature is worth $2700 max.
I love Victor Wooten but a signature on a bass he doesn't actually play?????

Signature on the front, right where my hand would be. Hope it is really super indelible.
