    [quote name='runforcover' post='413607' date='Feb 18 2009, 08:47 PM']the bass isnt really me great bass great tone but i never gigged it[/quote] Wow. Never done a gig ! That's when I realized how wonderful these basses are. They really cut through the mix while still sounding natural. Anyone what to buy a kidney ?

    Go for it ! I'm in the process of selling my GB Rumor and my Wal bass because I just bought a Fodera Monarch VW 4. Amazing basses. Never thought I would part with ether of these basses ! Good luck with the sale.

    Wow. I just paid £3,500 for one of these ! Best bass I've ever owned. I consider mine a bass for life. If I had the cash I'd pick this up in a flash ! How old is it ?
  7. flippyfloop
    Yup.

    Thanks for your comments Silverfoxnik. I'm soooooo happy with my Fodera Monarch. Its light, yet it sounds like a heavy bass. The passive sound is very lush & the active preamp builds upon the fundamental sound. I've had a lot of basses in the past that sounded great at home but on a gig the sound would vanish. This would also cause me to dig in way to much causing fatigue and sore fingers. I like to play with a light touch and this bass accommodates this very well. At a gig, every note is clear and full, with the minimum of effort. I'm a full time pro bass player & I've been playing for 20 years & this is by far the best bass I've owned. It's a bass for life. Yes, It was expensive & I'll be paying it off for a while plus I've had to say goodbye to a couple of much loved basses. Worth every penny...... I'm a very happy man P.S. I've tried some Fodera's in the past that did nothing for me, unlike this one. Cheers. Here's a slightly pale pic. Doesn't really do it justice. I can post some more if you like ?

    That's a cool looking bass. Is it heavy ?
  10. flippyfloop
    Very nice. 35" scale ?

    GB Rumor for sale. Built for me 11 / 2006. She has been my main bass for a couple of years. I've had a new hipshot bridge fitted by Bernie , with strings through body option and the neck is slightly slimmer than normal Rumor basses. The fastest neck I've ever owned ! I live in Brighton so she gets checked by Bernie on regular occasions. For those of you who don't know, Bernie's after-sales service is excellent. He take's good care of his instruments. It has the GB circuit without the G-spot tuner / Kick drum metronome. Some spec stuff - Ash body 5 piece birdseye maple neck with american walnut stringers Snake wood fingerboard ( this is very special & came from the same piece of snakewood that went on Laurence Cottle's 5 string GB ) Didn't make me able to play like him though ! Madrone wood facing GB Hiscox fitted hardcase included. NO TRADES. Here's a pic of her after she was built, before the hipshot bridge was installed. Recent pic's. Taken 31/1/2009. Hipshot bridge. Close up of the wood top. This pic has made it look a bit pale. Fingerboard with and without flash. It look's somewhere in-between the two. NOTE- That is not a crack but a bit of hair or something !

    Due to a recent purchase, I have decided to sell my Wal.
  14. flippyfloop
    Yum. If I could, I would. Good luck with the sale.
  15. flippyfloop
    Are you interested in trades + cash ? I have a GB Rumor 4.
  16. flippyfloop
    OMG. I want one of these sooooo much. Do you have a price in mind ?
  17. flippyfloop
    I have just put a nice new set of DR strings on my Wal & done a few gigs with her. She sounds so good compared to my other basses that I've decided to keep her. My love for Wal is back, yippee
  18. flippyfloop
    That's really loverly. Would go so well with my MKII 4 string. Good price too. I've seen two of these go on eVilBay recently for £3,500.00 and above !
