Just 2 days ago I could have bought this. Ah well! Lovely bass & best of luck with the sale

The tuner alignment looks a little unusual.

That is really unusual! Is that right...?? It looks really wrong!
Nevertheless.. that is stunning!!!

[chris_b]

The Fodera site has one of these.

Edit - It's the Extended B headstock option.

Inovative "Extended B" peghead design


Seems like a good idea actually!!!

Still looks wrong to me, stupid idea! (But will now go and find out why Fodera do it...)

They are lengthening the B string without increasing the scale length, presumably to improve the tension, playability and tone.

[ednaplate]

I just read that as a Fodera Bolton 5.

It'd look good with my Bowler Wigan 4 string.

Aye, very like the upside down Hamer headstock on their Chapparel 5 strings. Why couldn't they put all the other tuners in line with this tho? That's what I want to know!

Anyhoo, sorry for the thread hijack, lovely bass

[lee650]

Thats my dream bass, right there in the flesh, damn being poor!!!!!
Huge bump for a thing of great beauty-lee

where is the bass? usa? uk?

[messiest]

negotiable bump!!!!

[lozbass]

Hi, sorry if I've missed anything - is this bass in the UK, US, Europe or elsewhere (I'm sure this is an important issue for any potential purchaser)?

[Mike]

Certainly very important to me, lozbass. I suspect as the price was given in USD $, It's in the USA. Not certain though, of course.
