Hey all, I posted some pictures in my folder of the Monarch 4 I picked up yesterday. Just something to keep me entertained for a while. . . it plays very...
Hey. . . the home page picture looks familiar! Just to get something started, which body shape is everybody's favorite? Oh and Jared, were you able to get "The...

Nah...even though I could have had it held I decided not to because I thought that wasn't fair to the seller since I wasn't sure how fast my basses would sell....
Hi everybody, I am new here! My name is Dominik, I'm 28 years old and living in Germany. I found this group while collecting information on Foderas shortly...
The chestnut that Fodera uses is extinct american chestnut. Making it very rare indeed. That I think is the reasoning for the high price. My Emperor has a...
are you sure its extinct american chestnut that they used? for years the option on the website listed horse chestnut which is buckeye if im not mistaken. ... ...
Welcome Dominik, They have had both extinct american chestnut and horse chestnut which is buckeye. You could send them the serial number and they will tell...
Hey Dominik, My understanding from talking to David about the chestnut is that the particular batch from which all those tops were made was rare because the...
Hi everybody, thanks a lot for the great feedback so far. I have now put two pictures of the bass into Photos/Emperor/Dominik's Emperor. I don't have a digital...
Hello, this is Scott AKA Peter Parker in other places. In the past I've been fairly negative of Fodera basses and Aero p/u's. I've owned 2 Fodera's, one with...
Hi Scott, I was just curious which Foderas you owned that you weren't satisfied with, and which other Foderas you've played that you thought were just OK. Have...
Beaver is a great guy.what a player and teacher.I remember seeing your bass on their site-beautiful.As far as pickups go,ive tried most everything thats...
All: The discussion on Aero pickups is rather timely for me and I thought that I'd jump in and ask a question. I just received a lovely non- Fodera bass...
May I venture a guess as to the brand? Benavente? I don't see many other dual coil Aero pickup basses around, especially with owners who browse a Fodera site...
Thanks Scott aka Peter for the story. It's clear from the reading that you did indeed get a tad excited with the whole episode but the telling of it all adds...
Mik: You are an absolute master of the written word. Your posts are second to none! Jared, the bass is indeed a Benavente and I want to be quick to praise the...
is it the same amount of buzz in all the places you play? ive owned 3 foderas and all of them have had the same degree of ground buzz when you take your hands...
hot damn! now isnt that interesting. and here i thought you would be the last person to ever buy a fodera again:^) i hope this one is a keeper so you dont lose...
... wrote: Hello, Joe. I never thought I'd buy another either but... A friend of mine here in Greensboro has a 4 string Fodera that I really like and it...
Beneventes are like those japanese cars designed to look like a porche,they look nice,are pretty well crafted,but alas they will never measure up to the real...
Yes it is! These images are lifted from Bass Exchange's web site!!! I'm so sick of this guy. ... <image.tiff> ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Damn! What's the bassexchange url to that bass? I had a look at the Fodera page on bassexchange.com but their layout looks nothing like the eBay listing and...
Check out bassexchange.com, and note some of their Fodera pix...they use the same background. This was lifted from an old eBay auction. ... <image.tiff> ... ...
Bo: I appreciate your "Japanese car/Porsche) comment, but I must defend the Benaventes on the grounds of their quality. My Aero issues are in a lovely Vortex...
To weigh in on the Aero topic, I haven't owned a Fodera with dual coil Aero's, but I had another bass with the Aero J's and the 60 cycle from them wasn't even...
Greetings again Erik! I think Bo was referring to the fact that Chris' single cut design is practically a direct copy of the Emperor 2. Anyone with eyes can...
