Lozz196 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I like it when companies operate like this, you can get a true idea of the products if artists buy then use use them rather than just taking a cheque for the next 2 years or so.

In one way it's probably a good idea that he doesn't want to look like an angry twenty something anymore, but on the other he's jumped a generation and gone straight to ancient X-factor entrant who should know better. There's quite a difference between looking old and cool like Sam Elliott, and just looking old. I think it's partly a joke/clever move to attract attention and show their fans of similar age that the Dad thing is cool. I personally think he looks better....I never liked that daft semi hip hop thing he tried hahahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It's a good move and Fodera are a very high end brand, but Mudvayne....I can't them them seriously. Along with a lot of the nu-metal era....apart from a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belka Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I've just seen that Fodera have listed the Ryan Martinie bass as available to order on their site. It list for $11,700 which is obviously very expensive, but cheaper than I was expecting with that laminated top. Looking at the options on the bass (bolt on, Hipshot bridge, EMG pickups), I'm pretty sure they'll release a Ryan Martinie standard model with a painted Ying Yang-ish top sometime next year which would probably retail at around $6-7k. Still pricy but if anything cheaper than Warwick custom shop. Could be a smart move by Fodera to try to drum up some new business from the rock and metal fraternity - imagine how Wals Tool/Flea fans would have bought if the supply had kept pace with the demand.

Chris2112 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I do expect that they'll bring out a painted standard model. Unfortunately, I find those painted tops on the Yin Yang basses to look quite naff. At least on the proper Yin Yang you can see that's it's two slices of wood matched together, even if the ebony facing is quite uniform and black. The painted section never looks quite genuine to me.

I remember buying Thumb BO 5er in the late 90's for £1300, hand made in Germany, roughly the same thing now would be £3700! They are incredible instruments, and I'll bet their custom stuff is out of this world, but again, wow! Eude I've got a Fodera on order right now (due for completion early in the new year) and before I pulled the trigger I looked at what it would cost to spec something v. close with Warwick......and it wound up costing more than 2K more....

Supernaut Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Sam Rivers has always had a great tone. Dirk Lance (another Warwick user) is worthy of a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude I love Warwick, I've used mine for 10 years and its a bass I'll never part with, but seeing the quote from them for something that would have relatively minor alterations really surprised me. Heres the spec for my Fodera Monarch 6 string Elite 32" scale 26 frets 16.5mm spacing walnut body, alder tone block 3 piece white oak neck, thin profile ebony board (side dots only) solid flame koa top, matching peghead Duncan dual coils custom shop preamp Garrison control layout and pickup spacing Ebony ramp and pickup covers black hardware Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see more and more shorter 6 string basses out there too. Since I moved to 31.5" I've never looked back. I hope you share a lot of pics etcs when it finally lands!

A lot of stars unexpectedly aligned to make this build possible, and I've got very high hopes! It'll be sometime between Jan and March, depending on Fodera's build schedule, and yes, I'll be sharing pictures and some sound clips once she's here!

Ben What a great specification - I’m excited to see this when it’s ready. I have a relatively similarish Fodera myself - a 33” scale Emperor 6 Elite and the B is thunderous - I was a little nervous about buying a 33” scale initially considering the B but it’s amazing …I’d really like to play the Tony Grey 6 which is 30.75” scale to see how good the B is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played one other shorter scale Fodera and the B was indeed thunderous Having listened to Tony playing his new headless, the B seems pretty rock solid to me! Only a few months left to wait!!
