Unfortunately, I need to go back to playing 5s so I am looking to sell or trade my 6s. You can see specs and pics at http://www.thegrandscam.com/gear/. I am...
Hi all, I'm selling my 2006 Y/Y 4. It's 4 months old, in truly as-new condition, with less than 2 hours total playing time (in my apartment - never gigged,...
I love the bass. It's just that it was impulsive for me to buy it, in my current financial situation. I have debt I need to pay off, and my wife and I want...
If anyone here has an AJ Presentation, would you please let me know, if you've got a decent measuring device, the distance from the nut (where it touches the...
Hello everyone, I am reluctantly putting my 1994 AJ6 Contrabass on the market. My recurring carpal tunnel syndrome is the culprit. This bass is one of the...

Hi Robert, Yes, I couldn't get the posted link to work either. Yahoo has a nasty habit of breaking up text strings in links when it wraps lines. The bass is...
Hope everyone's doing fine. Just to follow up on some of the comments made by peer-fodera players, is it now common for people to wait over 3 years? I was...
Hi Dan, I'm not sure if it's "common" for people to wait over 3 years, but I do know that it's not wholly unusual. We know of several people who have taken...
