Received mine yesterday, very excited to get them gigged! Cheers Andrew Si

Just finished the new board layout for the next few Corybantic shows. Signal path: Bass-> SFX Loop Logic: Channel 1: TC Polytune Nano -> COG 66 -> Ibanez Phaser -> Boss VB-2 -> COG T-16 -> Mr Black Eterna. Channel 2: EHX Nano POG -> Fuzzrocious Rat Tail. Loop Logic main output -> EHX Bass Micro Synth -> Line 6 DL-4 -> Amp. All powered by a Gigrig Generator & 2 distributors & loaded into a Diago Showman.

Yeah sounds lovely!! Si

Peavey T-40! Wish I had a use for one, love the look of them Si

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1452268954' post='2948342'] Oh Bum, why can't we have Dave Swift Sunday as well ? He is more relevant to what most of us do each week than all the others put together [/quote] He's probably away playing bass on the sunday! Si

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1452268179' post='2948321'] In the meantime this is out in a week and a bit [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jaco-Pastorius-DVD/dp/B015NLH4EA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452268150&sr=8-1&keywords=jaco"]http://www.amazon.co...1&keywords=jaco[/url] [/quote] Yeah.....but I wanna get geeky with it in a room full of bass players/musicians lol Si

I'm still hoping for some Jaco Film content this year! Perhaps getting Felix P over for some performance/masterclass (even without any Jaco Film content this would be a good idea!) Fingers crossed Si

There's definitely a market for it, and I think it was probably inspired by this private custom build: https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-IV/Newborn-1061/ This is a Holly top, deluxe model (dovetail neck joint not bolt-on), and is active, so this would have probably cost the customer around $8500 I reckon Si

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1452250175' post='2947981'] The pickup looks a lot closer to the neck than the fender position... IMO the positioning of the pickups on a bass has a huge effect on the instruments fundamental tone, more so than the woods used, so I'd be interested to hear how this sounds. The Fender P has just the right balance of plumby deep bass and low mid growl for my tastes, looking at this id be a little worried about it sounding too boomy without enough punch... then again it's a Fodera so I'd imagine they've thought it out [/quote] A standard Preision is 20 frets and this is 22 frets, so the positioning is likely to be bang on (as you mention, they probably have done their due diligence), but the extra frets makes it look too far forward. Si

The Monarch shape has been built by Fodera since they started in 1983 Si

It's probably worth noting that Fodera players are quite a tight-nit community, I think that this is largely aimed at those players who want a simple Precision but want to play a Fodera. I don't think they're aiming to convert die-hard Fender players. Bear in mind a Sadowsky NYC ultra-vintage passive Precision will cost you around $4325 Si

Anyone know the scale-length? 34" presumably!? Si

I gig a fair bit, between once and three times a week and over 3 bands usually, I own 4 basses and usually take 2 basses with me on any given gig. Si

[quote name='72deluxe' timestamp='1452091383' post='2946281'] Thank you, that helps a bit. I suspect I am overthinking it. I have always added runs in my playing that are basically going up and down a scale (or pausing and doing it twice, for interest...), but based on the "root" (dominant?) key of what we are playing in, is it permissible to play any of the modes over it? I am mainly hung up on the fact that the actual notes played are all [i]identical[/i] between the modes. If a song is in E minor, I know I can play G major over the top and they are identical notes. This is a mode, surely? But they are still the same notes so I don't fully understand (at all?) how it helps with playing because I'll still be putting in exactly the same notes. So the mood of the song does not suddenly change, as they are the same notes. [/quote] You're effectively talking about relative minors really, Eminor is the relative minor of Gmajor, same notes. So in C, A minor (the Aeolian) is relative minor and so same notes. Si

Another fun trick is considering your root chord as if it were the second degree of the scale (or Dorian), and playing over the then equivalent Ionian. So if in D minor, try playing around your C Major scale Si

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1452090587' post='2946270'] Oh! I love this game! Can i play? [attachment=208789:511.png] Clearly some similarities in the PCB layout with added features wich will most definetly change the overal sound of the pedal. [/quote] The ribbon cabling does look neater Si

Argh, excited. Event highlight of the year minus having a baby a month later..........planned that spot-on didn't I Si

I think perhaps the issue here is that the quote Warwick gave probably was in line with the work involved, a full refinish, new LEDs etc etc, however none of that was necessary or wanted in the eyes of the customer, you just wanted the neck issue resolved, but they were all or nothing. So whilst I agree that Warwick shouldn't necessarily be vilified, I think if they want to seriously attract current users to them for servicing (which in turn would likely create further sales), they should be much more flexible with the elements of that servicing they deem to be necessary. And yes, the sales offer certainly throws up questions as to how they can write off $3000 from the cost of the service, or perhaps the other way of thinking of it is $3000 from the cost of the bass. In any case, the work is done, Martin has done a great job by the looks of it. Long live british luthiers Si

Excellent outcome and price. Shame Warwick couldn't satisfy a user in this case Si

Love this tune, will take a listen when I'm out of the studio today and see what I hear Si

Can some who's in contact with him now find out if they're at the London Bass Show again in March? I'd send another email, but I doubt he needs anyone else clogging up his inbox needlessly Si

Just remember that mine took 13weeks from deposit to delivery. Some peoples wait is shorter, and some longer I imagine. Adrian will let you know as soon as it's finished Si

Number 2 Always preferred Buckeye a little darker Si
