Yes - and now you need to spill the beans.

If bassdirect, the bass gallery, etc. had that FMT, I suspect I’d buy it because it’d be priced accordingly - although bassdirect do have an Emperor II that is so eye wateringly expensive, you could buy a new Fodera to your spec and go to NY to pick it up for more or less the same money - I digress, I’ve been after that exact FMT spec for a while now and I could actually afford it but I’m not dumb enough to pay way over the value and lose a lot of money on possible future sale.

Hmmm bargain! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153180410422

I got through a Morley M2 which broke and a couple of Dunlops which were okay to begin with but then stopped running smoothly. I figured I would bite the bullet and just spend the extra money for this Lehle and they are just brilliant - £125 shipping for this is amazing. -
Its nice reading a lot of folks more or less have their perfect set up already and wouldn't change much. That's where I am too... I wouldn't say no to a post-2012 American Standard Fender Jazz mind.

Pictures coming tonight when I'm home. I bought it a little over month ago but just haven't used it. As new condition - I've got the box, papers, etc. £115.

I agree with everything you've written here... unfortunately. For the first time in 3 or 4 years, I bought an issue of BGM - I won't be buying another. I used to love buying the defunct Bassist magazine back in the day and when that stopped, moved to Bass Player and BGM for a few years before becoming disgruntled at the amount of advertising pages. Of course, I certainly understand why the adverts are in there - it's just that, as you say, times have changed and YouTube as well as a whole host of other outlets have changed the game.

I've added photographs of the back of the bass and there is a trussrod cover. -
We played with a band in Bristol recently and they were so loud, people were leaving the venue. Suspicions and worries initially arose when I watched the drummer screwing one of his drum pedals into the stage floor - and then he started smashing the bass drum during their sound check. It was just so horrifically loud - it really ruined the night.

SOLD Aguilar TH500 with official bag - PRICE DROP £425
thebassist replied to stevie's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
It's a bad sign of the market place that this bass amp hasn't sold for £450 frankly. £425 is a so cheap for this amp - GLWTS mate. -
Bass Opportunity for The Maension, L.A. California
thebassist replied to yorks5stringer's topic in General Discussion
It sounds like something that would be rejected from the qualifying rounds for Eurovision -
Definitely the best volume pedal I've ever had - all the others I've had have ended up breaking/creaking somehow.
-
Congrats mate. I've had 4 of them over the course of 22 years... sold them each time because, despite loving the way they look, I had the same right hand playing problems. Mental that I had 4 of them! Nice shed too.

Good condition with velcro on underside. Comes boxed with manual and power supply. £190 including UK delivery. -
Fodera Flame Maple Emperor 6 Bolt-On No trade offers at all on this please This bass features a Walnut body, Ash tone block, and Ebony fingerboard, giving it a tone that is warm, yet punchy and articulate, with a deep low end and clear, bell-like highs. 33” scale length and 17.5 string spacing make this bass very comfortable to play for hours on end. This instrument also features a Flame Maple top with wonderfully tight flame, as well as an Ebony ramp to match the fingerboard. I have the trussrod cover - I just prefer to leave it off the bass. https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-IV/Newborn-949/ This bass is located in Bournemouth, Dorset. I will ship at buyers cost/risk. According to my bathroom scales, the weight is 10.8lbs. Body Woods Emperor Walnut Body No Tone Block Flame Maple Top (Solid) Neck Woods Ebony Fingerboard 3-pc.

I agree. And the black pickguard looks great on it too.
-
That is stunning. Congratulations. Beautiful instrument.

...I'll give you Jim's email at Fodera. He has been great throughout... very, very, very good salesman too
-
Cheers Ped. So excited about playing this bass!
-
Thanks a lot man - I'm quite conservative and wanted something understated. As ridiculous as that sounds given it's a Fodera!
-
Haha - I believe the weight is just shy of 9.5lbs because I had it chambered.
-
Thanks a lot. I’ve got to wait until December to pick it up but it’ll make a nice Christmas present I guess. Brazilian Hickory is pretty hard - I googled it when ordering the instrument and it said it was a dense wood.
-
Here is my Fodera Brazilian Hickory Emperor 6 Elite. I know and acknowledge that they're not for everyone but I'm so excited about collecting this instrument. https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-V/Newborn-1810/

I had an AMAZING 2013 US Standard Fender Jazz which to me was every bit as good as the Foderas, Overwaters, ACGs, Modulus basses, etc. I've owned. I only sold it because I transitioned 100% to a 6er. It really was a case of playing a few (around 20 I'd estimate) until I found 'the one'.
