    Mate I'm definitely in the same position as you in terms of playing ability and the instruments I deserve versus the instruments I have. I own a '90 Streamer Stage 1 5 string, an '08 Thumb NT5 and the retail of these combined would be circa 10K but really I could get by with a £350 Yamaha TRBX305 or similar. But like you I love my basses, not only to play and for their tones but also just to look at and admire the craftsmanship and beauty.

    I just dont understand how a Fodera can be that amazing compared to all the other high end basses out there. I mean really, how much better is it than a Wal, a masterbuilt Warwick, a Ritter, Alembic etc.

    Really? If I was paying 5 figures for a bass I would expect them to ask me if I would like them to tweak it a bit so it was more to my liking. As for the whole signature bass thing, they are great for getting publicity for the manufacturers but the person who sounds like the player is the player and their signature sound is in their fingers. Ive never heard of Anthony Jackson or heard any of his music so cant say what he sounds like but I have seen Marcus Miller sound the same on a Squier a Sire and his own Signature Fender.

    Yeah the jack- bloody auto correct lol. So if they are building a bass for AJ himself I get it(though i dont understand his preference) but when selling to the public surely this is something they could revise to improve the aesthetics.

    Looking at the Fodera AJ6 Presentation in the FS section i cant help but wonder why Fodera go to all the trouble and expense oh using extremely figured woods for the top of this bass, have it completely uncluttered with any controls but dont mount the jack on the side of the body! Just seems crazy to me. Also, it ain't exactly cheap but they can't go to the trouble of a matched wood cavity cover? I'm not trying to stinky poo on the bass or the seller as I'm sure it's a killer bass but when I see stuff like this from one of the most respected bass companies in the world I am left scratching my head a bit...

    Very generous to give away a bass. Good karma to you mate.
  7. dyerseve
    just in case?
  8. dyerseve
    speaking of covering that, it's definitely a "double bagger"! The new Wishbass?

    My sentiments exactly! I had a regular Basic model and they are superb instruments that sound amazing and are very ergonomic as well. GLWTS

    Maybe he is commenting on the refreshing honesty in these adds
  11. dyerseve
    Stunning!

    Damn I really like the look of this Datum! Seems really well made - helluva lot of bass for the money

    Stunning bass and incredible playing. This shouldn't last long! GLWTS

    Not a bargain or just no love for these?
  15. dyerseve
    im not saying its great but it may be that part of that is due to the relic look it's been given - see the bridge...

    you may find the lemon oil is absorbed quickly into the fretboard - this eems to be the case with my Wenge fretboards. If this happens just keep reapplying until it isnt absorbed so quickly and then just wipe off any excess with a piece of kitchen roll.

    This is really good advice and will help your sale!

    I welcome your new word and looking at the picture you posted, would also propose craftsmanshit be added to the list

    Awesome! Really practical for that situation where... Umm... You know.. Hang on... It'll come to me... ... Oh wait, no I've just remembered it's fecking useless
  21. dyerseve
    I actually quite like the look of it. No accounting for taste though...
  22. dyerseve
    Thanks mate, yeah may have to cast my net a bit further...

    Seems stupidly cheap for such a high quality package. Not just Status pups but Status pre too IIRC... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323256636907
