Kiwi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The tuner alignment looks a little unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) The Fodera site has one of these. Edit - It's the Extended B headstock option. Edited December 17, 2008 by chris_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwater#1 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Inovative "Extended B" peghead design Seems like a good idea actually!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ednaplate Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I just read that as a Fodera Bolton 5. It'd look good with my Bowler Wigan 4 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't they put all the other tuners in line with this tho? That's what I want to know!

lozbass Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
