1966powers Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) One of the first bass of 6 strings in the history of electric basses. Manufactured entirely by Fodera and reviewed by Ken Smith in 1985 in New York. A special and unique bass! In fact, Ken Smith only built 3 basses like this one ......(One of them was acquired by Patitucci, and he recorded with Chick Corea in the first days with the Electric Band) This bass was presented at the NAMM Show in Louisiana (New Orleans) between 22 and 25 June, 1985. Scale: 34" The separation between strings: 19 mm. The circuit : BT (bass/ treble) with 4 knobs and 2 switches (a phase switch and the preamp’s on/off switch). Weight: 5,5 kg. (12lb. 2oz.) Body: flamed maple top and back and a mahogany center piece Neck: five-piece, made of maple and morado; two truss rods; reinforced with a graphite rod. All information and history of the bass is documented and authenticated by Ken Smith. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/336065-ken-smith-and-the-6-string-basses/ Edited January 25, 2019 by 1966powers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
