XB26354 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 A word or two of advice: You've made 1 post so are new here. You're linking to a months-old thread on a rival bass forum that says it is sold. You haven't mentioned where you're based, how much shipping would be to the UK (we have many non-UK members but the majority are here in the UK) and as such it'd be nice to have a price in GBP rather than Euro. How about some pictures from you rather than studio-lit photos from what looks like the previous owner? For well over £6K you could put a bit more effort in It is a drop dead gorgeous bass, and best of luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wira Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Perhaps you should answer pm's if you want to sell or trade the bass. It really does help. Edited December 20, 2012 by wira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Horton Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Out of interest, I have never played or seen a fodera bass up close before Is it standard for the B string to to be strung like this on a Fodera ? http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-17795-0-96879100-1355825242.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodysprefect Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's their 'extended b' - an optional feature that's supposed to make the b-string feel more taut. Not sure about that, physics seems to dictate that the 'give' in a string would be at it's minimum with excess string length. (Since every meter of the string will stretch some when pulled, every additional inch will add string that will stretch...) But Fodera famously arrive at their design choices through experimentation, not theory. Sure, theory informs stuff, but they build prototypes and test it out.

Chris2112 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The extended low B on these has been debated time and time again. The science seems to suggest it is at best, a 'snakeoil' option. But the low B's on these basses are beyond reproach. So make of that what you will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
