An R Bass? A Fodera knock-off?

Yes/no. The maker of R Basses worked for Fodera for a while. When he struck out on his own, he brought a lot of the Fodera aesthetic with him. They're not really "knock-offs" as they're just as high quality as any boutique bass out there, but yeah, they do look a wee bit like a Fodera, you know, in the right light...

I wasn't suggesting that R bass was a Fodera knock off, I should have phrased that a little more clearly, as in "is it an R bass? Or a Fodera knock off?"
