[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1470471244' post='3106184'] sounds like a cheap game show theme tune from the same year [/quote] You write that like its a bad thing!!!

I was looking at commissioning a new build Fodera but that is dead right now.p due to the weak pound.
-
It's a Fodera with a quite unique system I've not seen before so I don't want to risk damaging it.

Fodera Emperor Standard 6 Price drop 3900£!!
thebassist replied to smith42's topic in Basses For Sale
Great price as well. I wonder where this superb looking bass will end up? GBP has taken such a hit! -
Anybody have any recommendations where I can get a good bass setup in or around Bournemouth? I've had some local guitar shops do them for me and thought they were alright until I tried a few basses at the Gallery.

Do you actually respond to PMs?

Sold. -
[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1467892980' post='3087066'] I'm crazy too, who'd want a well finished 2013 jazz 5 with perfect frets, nice hardware, nice dark finger board, super thin urethane finish and lighter than almost every P bass I've ever played?

[/quote] Damn - I like that a lot!!!!

I sold a 2014 American Deluxe 5 Jazz recently that was seriously brilliant. Very well put together. 1. I'm playing a 6 now. 2. I'm not a fan of block and binding. I know you can get builds from other manufacturers but I'd love a US made Fender Jazz with 24 frets, ebony fingerboard with dot inlays in 4, 5 or 6 string configurations

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1467815266' post='3086486'] ...a 2013 Fender us jazz five with an aguilar preamp I fitted... [/quote] Ooooooohhhhhh - how did the fitting go? Photos handy?
-
Post-2012, I think they're relatively consistent. I played probably close to 20 American Standard Jazz Basses in 2013. I'd say maybe 5 were average, 10 were good and 5 were great.

[quote name='Tonci' timestamp='1467467272' post='3083903'] Still on sale? [/quote] Hi - on hold pending payment. -
Thanks Guy - much appreciated. Hope you're enjoying the Jazz mate.
-
My experience has been consistent with the OPs. I played with some awesome drummers but they all have something going on. One was brilliant when he was sober so rehearsals were always good because we all had to drive there but he would get trashed at gigs and then he would turn into a nightmare, picking fights with people, cracking onto the singers GF, etc. We had another drummer who was amazing musically but just so, so unreliable - he would never be on time to shows, etc. The guys I have played with who were not mental were never all that good.
-
Super fast payment, great communication and all round top man. Hope to deal with again.

Get a six.

[quote name='fbass967' timestamp='1466778050' post='3078747'] Fantastic [/quote] If only your Fodera was a six

Bump...and a nice discount for anyone using Euros!

Had the same issue mate. Annoying isn't it! -
[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1466278014' post='3074664'] Looks fantastic. How about a pic minus the pickguard?

Cheers Ambient. Was on hold but buyer has unfortunately been unable to gather the funds together.

Wow. A stunning example right there!

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1466093065' post='3073319'] Nice. Love the black and gold headstock. I bet it plays beautifully. That's a heck of a bass for the money. GLWTS. [/quote] Cheers - yes you can get a real Wooten sound out of it. If I was playing 4s I'd definitely keep it.

I recently acquired this beautiful Fodera in a part exchange trade deal but I'm pretty much only playing 6-string nowadays. This is a Fodera Monarch New Standard made in 2004 and verified by the folks at Fodera. It's a bolt-on mahogany body, birch top, three piece maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, angled headstock, EMG P/J pickup configuration and two band EQ with the volume working as an active/passive switch. The bass is in very good condition with only a slight ding on the upper part of the body that is very hard to spot and can't really be photographed all that easily. The neck is perfectly straight and can be adjusted to a very low action as desired. The frets are in very good condition and well levelled. The bass weighs approximately 8.8 pounds (4 kilos). The bass comes in a generic hard case with the truss rod tool and Dunlop Straplocks. I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset. I would consider a trade for a 6-string Fodera or a 6-string Ken Smith with cash adjustment. I'm not looking for any other trades at all.
