I just couldn't let this one pass.

On profit or loss I bought a bass just because I liked the look of it. Not an original, but a copy(!) of another bass. The original is the Fodera Imperial - out of reach for most of us, at least for me - and this is a copy built by the Ukrainian luthier Stas Potokilo (or Potokylo) some years ago. He uesd to work at Fodera it is said...

I got it really cheap, didn't really plan to buy another bass, but you know the nature of bass players... ;) (I sold a lot of stuff, just so you don't think my middle name is Musk... ;) )

It arrived nicely and well packaged, took a while to get inside the wrapping, but what was in the cocoon was a really nice bass. New strings and a setup to my liking and we were ready to go.

I used it yesterday at the school's Christmas party in the church in the village where I work.

Holy moly, that is a good looking copy! Like, really good; if it plays a quarter as good as it looks, you've got a great bass 

I've never tried a real Fodera, but this bass is a really good bass; well built, fun to play and sounds good. We have an expression in Swedish; furniture bass (möbelbas). This one is in that category. ;) I got a wall of them now... ;)
