[quote name='Brams77' post='1093248' date='Jan 17 2011, 11:42 PM']This bass used to to mine, it's tone is to die for, biggest B string I have ever heard.
I actually am not very happy to see it up here tho....[/quote]


Thanks Bram for chiming in. Yes, this bass is very organic sounding and I begin to feel that the older and well-played Foderas are a quality of their own. Most of the Fodera enthusiasts are looking for Dual Coils and Pope pre but believe me - this bass smokes ! And I still own 5 other big Foderas...

If it only would be 34' or 35' ....:-(

Trades considered (+/- cash):
Alleva Coppolo 5
60s Fender Jazz Bass
Celinder J Update 4 or Classic 5
Fodera 34' or 35' (same spec and age would be great !)
F bass (BN5 with very nice tops, AC5, VF4/5)
Ken Lawrence Fretless
Ken Smith BMT
