Chadu25 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 What a surreal moment. 19 years ago I remember watching a DVD of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones where I first saw Victor Wooten play his version of Amazing Grace. He was my first bass hero and he played this unique shaped bass that I fell in love with. Never in my wildest dreams did I think of holding one, and now I finally got the chance to own this brilliant Fodera Monarch 4 Standard ❤️ What a marvelous piece of art and a beautiful sounding instrument. 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I know that they have their haters, but I reckon that a Fodera very similar to yours is the best bass that I have ever played...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed! Don't really know what they hate about it, to each his own I guess. I'm just happy with my new bass and no regrets . I've owned a couple of basses in my journey: Fender jazz(mexico, japan), Squier, Yamaha. I can say this is the one for me. Hopefully no more new basses lol Planning to build a nano board for this one. Probably a nice compressor, an octaver and drive pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Nice bass for sure. And while you're talking about it, a friend of mine was in the same position as you until he found his dream bass too a few years ago, and being a Victor Wooten fan, he just recorded (in fact he's been asked to do so) this a few days ago: Sorry for derailing your thread a bit, but it's still a Fodera Monarch... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Congratulations, that’s very nice, I don’t know why but I’ve never got around to buying a Fodera , there’s certainly some lovely ones around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
