Don't think thats a Moon Bass, I think it's a Pensa Suhr. It's certainly not the Moon logo on the headstock and the angle traditionally installed for the neck pickup on a Moon would make it very difficult to install a front pickup cover as seen in the clip. Also the headstock shape smacks of a Pensa Suhr to me, now just made by John Suhr. Nice basses.

[quote name='molan' post='675237' date='Dec 5 2009, 08:25 PM']What's the difference between the LG & LM series? Is the body shape more 'modern' on the LM?[/quote] LG basses 60's era wood combination, alder/rosewood RA basses early 70's wood combination, alder/maple or rosewood LM basses 70's wood combination ash/maple or rosewood 1600 Limited basses are Jimmy's take on exotic tops and variations of the above. Copollo basses are all full size Jazz body's not modern as in the Sadowsky shape.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='447833' date='Mar 28 2009, 12:23 AM']Am not sure what an SWR 4x10 will have that the EBS does not; but hey its your cab.[/quote] In my experience having owned both of these cabinets the SWR has a significantly greater low frequency performance. The EBS IMO has a noticeable attenuation on the bottom end, this is reflected in the frequency response of the respective cabinets EBS 70hz -18khz, SWR -3db@40hz-15khz... The Goliath is also easier to handle being 11 pounds lighter. Both great cabinets..... -

Bump Rich, this bass is stunning.... Good luck with the sale -
Yes, I'll be there all week. The Messe isn't quite as exciting as NAMM in the absence of many of the established U.S. brands Sadowsky,Coppolo, Lull, Zon, Fodera and so on............however if anyone would like me to find out information from manufacturers on thier behalf drop me a line. Hall 8 stand 40 KV2 Audio if anyone is going to the show drop by for a beer. Mick

[quote name='Johnzy' post='398697' date='Feb 3 2009, 10:52 AM']up until recently I thought fodera were the be all and end all for bass. I had tried out the wooten model and fell in love. it was the first 4 string that actually made me consider sell all my 5's!!!! but then last week i went to the gallery to try out the 5 string nyc jazz they've got, man was i disgusted!!! I didnt plug it in, didnt need to. it sucked!!!! for a couple of years i've had high hopes of saving up for a 5string fodera, but now I'm not going to order it blind if at all. lets just say fbass blew my mind!!!![/quote] I agree Fbass are great basses, however don't let the Fodera NYC range of basses confuse you into thinking they are representative of the custom instruments they offer. There not. To me they are a reactive measure at a lower price point to try and reach a wider bunch of players by tapping into the Sadowsky NYC, Nordy, custom J bass part of the market. A tough thing to do when there are such benchmark manufacturers such as Sadowsky, Chris Celinder and Jimmy Coppolo already doing this better..

Fodera... Beautiful basses, In the respect of the too expensive debate IMO any bass is worth the price if the player has the desire to own it. A point of greater relevance as far as Fodera are concerned is are they worth the wait!!! I speak from experience on this having owned four, all brand new two ordered from dealers in the US and two directly from Fodera in Brooklyn. Two of them here... These basses were played, they excel at this great gigging instruments. [attachment=19712:DSCN0248.JPG][attachment=19713:DSCN0597.JPG] [attachment=19715:DSCN0251.JPG][attachment=19714:DSCN0598.JPG] The other two were a Monarch 83 reissue Flame Top and a Ying Yang four string which I actually returned to Fodera as it had neck issues. The average wait for a bass build is 2-3 years, there is no option to try before you buy as they are all custom builds. They operate a certified used instrument scheme in which they sell on part exchanges this is often a good way to skip lead time on a new bass. I would never go through the build time with them again, PM if anyone wants info on this. I've sold the Fodera's to fund other basses and have to agree they are stunning instruments, I just had my time with them. It worth noting to any Fodera owners that the new Pope Preamp is now available as a retro-fit for $500.00, sweepable mids and so on...

[quote name='Toasted' post='394190' date='Jan 28 2009, 11:23 PM']Some pretty luddite views in this thread. There seem to be a lot of members scared of change, which is kind of ironic considering that the thing that brings us all together is an instrument that was invented less than 60 years ago.[/quote] Completely agree.

[quote name='Bassmanc' post='382652' date='Jan 16 2009, 05:15 PM']Why do you want to run an amp at 2 ohms!? They really don't like that - even if they say they work at 2 ohms you're going to get better headroom and longevity at 4 If you've got so many cabs why not add another amp ? Curious to know what you're thinking.[/quote] The minimum impedance at the output stage of this and most class d topology amplifiers is 4 ohms, the giveaway is usually the lightweight aspect of such heads Markbass F1, Aguilar AG 500 and so on... The switching power supply will not drive a low impedance load so 4 ohms is what you get at this price point. However there are good quality amplifiers that will drive 2 ohms all day long (not class d), some unscroupulous manufacturers will give the 2 ohm power rating as the advertised output. It's a compromise, you want to get the maximum output with one box you'll buy a 4ohm cab or 2x8 ohm boxes, if you need to expand and add cabinets then you'll need an amplifier to handle impedance below 4ohms.. or as you've stated buy another head to drive the second cab. This is where the quality and design of the amplifier is crucial, I have an Aguilar DB 750 and it will drive 2 ohms without blinking, I've also ran EBS amplifiers down there and not had issues. The Epifani 502 is a fantastic sounding amp, I've also had the pleasure of owning this and the UL 902.. great sounding bits of kit so good luck with the sale. Amplifier design has improved so much from the days of "2 ohms, call the fire brigade" so I suppose it's down to the power and output required by the player. I work for a loudspeaker manufacturer where amplifier topolgy is equally as important as cabinet design in achieving the best results. 502 great amp.. Bump
