It is one of those impulse purchases you could make, like a few extra plectrums or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JottoSW1 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sure it plays great and all - a bit vulgar tho. That top looks like an accumulation of pigeon droppings in a loft 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 To be fair, it’s grossly over-priced, you could order a new custom Emperor SC 5 Elite from Fodera for $10k, so not sure what this player is smoking. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Fodera have a crazy wait time?! A year? Maybe just over?! Odd. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaFR Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Overpriced for what it is, and what it is is a fantastic instrument (the looks aren't my things but respect for it being a Fodera), but if I were into buying it I'd go and collect it in person as it'd be cheaper.

Oomo Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 As a lefty, I guess I'll stop complaining about the choice of basses we have and grab this bargain while I can. Might pick up a cheap keyboard while I'm at it https://reverb.com/uk/item/48735698-yamaha-cs-80-synthesizer-1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but a genuine late 70s CS80 is one of the most famous synths, to have one working well (they are not indestructible and they need a real specialist who are rare to fix one) is akin to one of the rarest basses so I don’t think they are overpriced. They were very very expensive new and are a monster of a piece of kit (100kg ish). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
