sorry i deleted my negative post..

[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1327789449' post='1516942'] On the basis that Fodera, like any custom shop can source any old Fender part from old instruments/ebay, I'd get Fodera to build me a custom bass, with the nicest bits off the nicest Fenders (and other brands) I could find. I reckon Fodera could build a Fender better than Fender ever could anyway, unless you think certain build imperfections are part of the 'charm,' in which case you could just get Fodera to build those in deliberately through master craftsmanship, rather than get Fender to build it accidentally through incompetence. [/quote]yep your right.. Fodera... doing the master builder thing on a fender 75 jazz bass.. now were talking.. that would be serious jazz bass

i love this track from there best album imo... just adore this track... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cYnJX7VO4w&ob=av2e

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1327785021' post='1516866'] And noone's mentioned Abba yet...?

im sure it is not a serious problem at all, but there is no doubt in my mind that the best person to answer what is going on with your arm is your GP...

[quote name='mrdreadful' timestamp='1327781777' post='1516800'] Had it been done transparently with clear and concise communication I'd agree with the 'not venting frustration' thing. But as a [url="http://www.h2g2.com"]moderator myself[/url] I think people are well within their rights to publically rant when a disproportionately heavy-handed decision is made with no explanation given. [/quote]but given that there is no explanation given by the OP, its difficult to condone his post.. no idea what link you just gave us?

this seems a little more imformative than the last cheesburger of a vid, from rons burger and chip van

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1327777980' post='1516714'] Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Fender? [IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/cbacki.jpg[/IMG] Or Fedora? [IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/poshreviewfedora.jpg[/IMG] Tough call. [/quote]

why dont you email them, instead of airing your personal frustrations on BC...cant see anything positive coming from it

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1327777299' post='1516701'] Yeah, but which one: '63 P '72 P '73 J '78 J '79 PJ '59 J replica build by Wes Steed (has a Fender neck & decal so just looks like a heavily relic'd J) Too many choices [/quote] good god man youve got too many great basses!!! i would use the 73 jazz... how come we never see pics of these beauties? or have i missed them?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1327771102' post='1516563'] [size=4]Fender! Precision, in particular.[/size] Everything I don't like about basses, bass-playing and bass players is represented by Fodera. *Puts on crash helmet, girds loins and hides in shed* [/quote]i know where your coming from, but its a shame to blame Fodera, for your own opinions on what you like about bass in music.. some incredible bass lines are played on them....

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1327774960' post='1516646'] So I have an audition on Monday & currently weighing up whether to take my trusty old Fodera, a vintage Fender P, my flashy red sparkle Alleva Coppolo P or my relic'd Steed/Fender stack knob J. Luckily the Ritter is out on loan as that's probably a bit too flash for an audition May have to try & suss out if the band are 'traditional' Fender/Gibson types or whether I can get away with the Fodera [/quote]i reckon take the Fender Barrie.. see how it pans out...

took me a while to really relax my playing.. i too fell into the trap of playing too many fills when i was younger.. i think with experience and confidence, playing a groove with a fill here and there becomes a more fullfilling experience, as you can take your time.... its all about controlling your expression

its seems by a gnats knacker Fender is on top here, if not level pegging, lets face it a Fodera instrument is way better built with more attention to detail, than any Fender... but maybe pushing a bass design to the limits of craftmanship isnt that important to most of us.... i should have polled it... it does say something about the bass playing public in general i think.. no wonder there are so many P bass and Jazz bass copies
