Wouldn't you rather just drag an extra bass around instead? or two?

None of this is really 'necessary', but who cares? If you have the scratch and this is your hobby, it's a 'nice to have'. I think basses like these are fun to look at!

Patricio Ulloa

well, if you want the "Fender Sound" , use a Fender bass instead of Fodera. 

Christopher Fish

man i would have never thought of those mods, very creative! nice

Caleb Pruiett

I'll never buy into things like the removable fretboard, the B string tuner placement, or the moveable pickups. It doesn't look good, and it's just pointless. So many people are great bassists without all of that, so is it really necessary?

Chris Davis

They do now, I believe

SteveUrkeI

That's my dream 6 string right there

The movable pickup is where its at. What better way to change your tone than to actually be able to move the pickup within the scale of the instrument? Fodera should offer that as an option on all its instruments.

Darwin Sanico

I would like to have that bass because of the wide spacing but man! they are so expensive even at used condition hahahaha It's only just a dream!

Nelson Montana

That space in the rear pu slot would drive me nuts.

leonardo lee

it would be cool and very useful to have 2 removable fretboards, a fretted and a fretless

laopiniondediego

why not both?? YAAY!!!!

Sam555768

How many life this bass can possibly cost??

Igor Soptija

HAHHAHA:DDDDD

Quite a lively conversation here! Glad there is so much interest!

OF COURSE they use real inlays!!! People shell out thousands of dollars for these instruments, does anyone honestly believe they would take cheap curves like fucking painting on an inlay? You know what's funny, for all the people that like to bitch and moan about Foderas, you never hear any complaints from someone who actually owns one.

carloscs5

WOW that's a serious accusation. I'm sure they use real inlays.

carloscs5

is the bass on Passive mode? sounds kinda dry.

ramon709

Sorry but I don't hear any difference with moving the neck humbucker, well maybe a minimal difference. 85% of the sounds comes from your fingers, if you want a more dry sound you play more with your tips of your fingers on the bridge humbucker instead of moving the humbucker. I also wonder how long it takes for the removable fretboard to gets worn out and then just falls off during a gig.

Matt Revell

why not make the whole fretboard removable?
