XB26354 Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 A word or two of advice: You've made 1 post so are new here. You're linking to a months-old thread on a rival bass forum that says it is sold. You haven't mentioned where you're based, how much shipping would be to the UK (we have many non-UK members but the majority are here in the UK) and as such it'd be nice to have a price in GBP rather than Euro. How about some pictures from you rather than studio-lit photos from what looks like the previous owner? For well over £6K you could put a bit more effort in It is a drop dead gorgeous bass, and best of luck with the sale!
wira Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Perhaps you should answer pm's if you want to sell or trade the bass. It really does help. Edited December 20, 2012 by wira
Chris2112 Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Perhaps the greatest bass ever advertised on here! Wow!
tthiggins Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 i find myself doing that drooling thing homer does on simpsons, how about a swap for a battered 80s yamaha go on you no you wanna !
Chris Horton Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Out of interest, I have never played or seen a fodera bass up close before Is it standard for the B string to to be strung like this on a Fodera ? http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-17795-0-96879100-1355825242.jpg
nobodysprefect Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 It's their 'extended b' - an optional feature that's supposed to make the b-string feel more taut. Not sure about that, physics seems to dictate that the 'give' in a string would be at it's minimum with excess string length. (Since every meter of the string will stretch some when pulled, every additional inch will add string that will stretch...) But Fodera famously arrive at their design choices through experimentation, not theory. Sure, theory informs stuff, but they build prototypes and test it out.

Chris2112 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 The extended low B on these has been debated time and time again. The science seems to suggest it is at best, a 'snakeoil' option. But the low B's on these basses are beyond reproach. So make of that what you will!

Anyways, playing music is not only a science but also an art (yes, really!) so [i]if it makes you feel better and play better, it works.[/i]
gorandelac Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 maybe you should post few clips, that pickup is not at same place as Anthony's, wish you could do a review on youtube.... btw. beautiful bass
