Hey Pete, I know you've talked about this before on this before on here, but for some reason I couldn't find the post(s). I was curious as to whether you could...
Hi Erich, Yes I remember that post.I too don't care for the "clackiness"(new word...lol)of ebony. In my opinion the maple fingerboard does retain the...
Anyone out there know where to find a Foder 10th Anniversary Bass. I am looking for a 5 or 4 sting (perferably a 5), with a beautiful horsechestnut top. I...
Hey Pete, Thanks for the info. . . that's sort of what I figured. I thought of wenge as well, but I think that would give it too "woody" (I'm starting to think...
Hey, folks! Some of you know me from the WootCamp thing, so "Hey!" to all of you. I decided to subscribe to this group, even though I'm not a Fodera owner, ...

... ** probably true, as i thought i had carpal tunnel but it turned out to be neck/shoulder stuff. in the long run it turned out that i was having tooth...
Hey Len, Just my two cents as I played your 35" scale MTD. If I recall your neck was a 21 fret model.I remember feeling that the scale was really "long"...
That's definitely a possibility. I plan to try all of Anthony's Foderas out when I go see him, but I'd really need to gig with one to see. I was also looking...
I have a five string 33" scale Emperor Elite, and the B string sounds fantastic. It is well integrated, full, and authoritative. I too have carpal tunnel...
Thanks, Ben. Now this leads me to another question, which probably should be obvious...What's the difference between the "Elite" and regular model Emperors?...
i just posted an mp3 of a tune i wrote in the files section. its just from a rehearsal recorded to minidisc.i finally got a quartet together so i thought id...
Well Len, A Deluxe designation is a dovetail style neck,the Elite is a neck through.NEWBIE....LOL As far as any discount,someone else will have to answer you...
Somebody recommended that I look into a ramp for my Emperor and now I think that it might be a cool idea. At least to give it a try, anyway. Does anyone know...
Hi, I'm new to this list (Glenn Haggis) and live in South Africa - Congratulations is in order for J. Morante, the proud new owner of that gorgeous looking and...
FYI, Scale lenght has nothing to do with the number of frets. Scale length is the length of the strings from nut to bridge. The reason one 34" bass feels ...
Oh, thanks! Make it complicated now! Actually, the concept isn't complicated...it's just that the ONLY way I'd be able to tell whether the Fodera "fits" is to...
I would say add about 3.5", since the scale would be measured from the front of the bridge. Some fobera models are very close to the P bass in the way they...
So I guess what you are saying is that it is a matter of "fit".In other words one could take a 3x inch stick and hold it in both hands.If you positioned one...
Thats right. The Anthony Jackson model has that classical guitar shape (rounded). This allows the instrument to rotate into a vertical position on your lap...
What's happenin Joe? I dig it. . . I like the melody the sax plays, it's got a nice groove and a sort of dark quality to it that I think is cool. It's a little...
Hey, Your Emperor II fretless in the photos section. . . can you give me the spec's on that beast (woods, scale, etc...)? I love that bass. And is that a...
Thanks, Ben. I was thinking that might be the best way to do that but I was worried that it might damage the finish if I took it off. And that is a highly...
thanks for the kind words. we've been working on consistency lately. one week we'll sound great and then the next it'll fall apart. the drummer just recently...
edit- whoops. i forgot ben is sopranze on this group and bejahu over on the dudepit. ... lately. ... snare ... months ... musical ... my ... Epifani ... rigs. ...
ive flirted with the idea of a ramp also for my fodera but if you even look at these thin satin urethane finshes the wrong way it leaves a mark. thats what has...
Hey Erich no problem, It is a standard Emperor II 5.... 35" scale, it has a Burled redwood top with a Mahogany body core and a flamed redwood back.Which Vinny...
