Fender or Fodera.?

[EssentialTension]

Fender Precision but I could live with a Jazz if I had to. A standard model would do, don't need a masterbuilt. In fact a Squier CV would do. Fodera, I don't really know what they are but I'm also not interested.

Not only do I want the gig, I can do without the worry of who's legging it out of the fire exit with my 6 million dollar Fodera when I'm at the gig.
On that basis alone, a Fender. Although perhaps not a particularly mainstream one. Maybe an Urge or Roscoe Beck...

;-)))) Six million dollar Bass....Excellent Lfalex

To compare Fender and Fodera, you have to compare a early 60 hand made JB or PB to a hand made bass by Fodera crew.
And then, you can not go further comparing.
There is passion on both case, i think.

You have history and pionneer research for a afordable instrument in one case. Thanks Mister Léo for creating a Little Big Bass : amazing revolution with PB and JB.

Future and happy few high lutherie on the other. With Anthony Jackson, the Butterfly luthiers brings the Bass a little bit further.
The problem is : be careful if you own a Fodera, you have to PLAY or you'll be ridiculous... ;-)

Money, fashion, and rare products came to interfer with Music.


The Tool fits the Music. Each Bass its sound, character.



I still laugh reading "who's legging it out of the fire exit with my Six Million dollar...Bass". Thanks Lfalex

fenders are so dreadfully boring, it would have to be a Fodera. Although they're a bit boring too, so it would have to be a custom special witha great big top horn (Flamboyant/Marseer/Roya). And spikes. And one of those scratchboards with a Mexican bandit on.

Ok - so I've posted this elsewhere but couldn't resist as I've bought one of each in the past couple of weeks
