    I tried both (but not for long)... Kingston is great for the money, i played a 6 string with beautiful top... bass was light, neck is quite big, well balanced and sounding powerful... Frets are a bit too big to my taste, and overall playability is good but not exeptionnal... Soundwise it's good for the money, but don't expect it to be a lifetime bass (lack of personnality and tone)... The US one are WAY better, much more like a Fodera NYC or Roscoe or Sad's... I personnaly don't dig the MTD tone but have to reckon it's very professional in every way : great to play and to record with, good B and even sounding from top to bottom, even if i think i get a more "personal" tone with my Fodera... Better a Kingston than a "mid 7ender", but if u can go for a US, you'll keep her longer ^^

Good luck with the sale...[/quote] You're absolutely right, i had forgotten about the swamp ash ^^ Good luck still

    Fodera basses

    k-sad replied to peteb's topic in Bass Guitars

    Hi there I own 2 NYC's, definitely the best basse i've ever had (far away from our french luthiers, don't get me wrong i had great time playing all sorts of instruments but since i got my first Fodera, ebony and graphite, i just don't wanna play an other instrument, and i've tried a few ^^). I've heard that some may be a bit "less sounding" than others, but i bought both of mine from the US without trying them, and had no troubles at all... (think i should post them in the porn thread thing ) ps : what yybass just said is just so true

    I think i found the answer (well one consistant one at least). I think using expensive instruments is a way to have the same quality sound you can get with a good sound ingeneer... I mean at home, just with your amp and bass, being able to obtain the exact same sound you hear on CDs after hours of recording and modifying frequences... And in the studio, just plug it in a Direct Box and get a nice warm tone "at first glance" I've seen crap basses made terrific by an ingeneer, but i've never seen those sound good on a simple amp (even on David Eden or any good amp). So a bit of confort for us who play a lot, and just don't want to fight with their instrument to find a "nice" sound... (ps : i play a 2000€ Fodera, and don't really need a more expensive bass at the moment )

    This is why : [url="http://img12.imageshack.us/i/basses16871.jpg/"][IMG=http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1355/basses16871.jpg][/IMG][/url] and believe me the B string is tight...

    I have 2 Foderas that came from the US : i only paid 100€ fees for both, separating necks and bodies for shipping (insured around 500€ each), so no big deal with custodies, actually only the first neck got "caught"... This means "no original HSC", but it's got to be taken into consideration, especially with bolt on necks... ^^

    traded... Beautiful Ken Smith on its way to France...
