I got a new bass - new images

[Ricki_Bass_DK]

Hooorrayyy - I finally got my new baby
After a long time of searching and trying out several different types I ended up with a Fodera NYC Empire 5-string. Very nice bass with a super-nice B-string and the legendary Pope preamp.

I ended up paying € 1750 which I guess is a bargin

I am so happy....now I only need to find out which strings to use. I guess that the B-string shouldn't be too tense.....I'm thinking 128 tops. Any suggestions in that matter?

Looks very nice but you must know we need B I G G E R pictures than that please!

That's a nice bass at a nicer price. I think they're about 4500euro new.

Try laBella HardRockingSteels. The bstring is the best.

Nah, working, the factory that makes the material we sell is near there. I got driven across a large part of the country while I was there though, strangely reminded me a lot of England.

Strings? I'd highly recommend DR Low Riders, very nice low B.

Grrrr.....a bit difficult to get hands on in DK
I'll see if it can be bought from a foreign webshop inside EU. Thanks anyway
