dyerseve Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Never seen a Fodera copy before: Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162344363846 Quote
Volume Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Interesting.... Pardon my ignorance - but what gives it away as a copy? Quote
Musashimonkey Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The bridge, pickups and headstock shape at first glance. Quote
dyerseve Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Probably not a bad bass for the price and could be worth it for the shock value alone when you take it out your gig bag at next rehearsal!😉 Quote
Musashimonkey Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Definitely, on a gig with dim lighting, I would likely assume it was real! Quote
BassApprentice Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If it makes me even 1/22nd as good a bass player as Mr Wooten I'll buy it! Quote
molan Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I've seen some Fodera copies before but not anything quite like this. I'd love to see it in the flesh just to see how well made it is. Quote

cetera Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I messaged the seller asking how he knew it was made in Korea, if it was stamped in neck joint or cavity with 'made in Korea'... and what the serial number was..... His reply - "because my neighbour says so and it looks well made". Well there's reassurance for you! Quote

If someone from here goes for it would love to get a review! Quote
molan Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) There were some nasty Chinese Fodera knock-offs kicking around a while back. To be fair, apart from the nasty looking trussrod, this one looks better than those. Edited January 10, 2017 by molan Quote
