Wow⌠are you an endorsed artist with Fodera since you already have one of these, a few days after its release?? Very, very cool!
Itâs what I am trying to do, but itâs kinda hard to sell basses at the moment⌠not sure whyâŚ

I got lucky. Monday, when I received the new model email from Fodera I immediately called Sweetwater. My rep was totally unaware of the model. I reserved it, and got the arrival call Thursday morning and received it Friday morning. Fodera has the first 2 (perhaps for the videos) and Sweetwater received one bass, the first to dealer. I ended up with # 3 (VWS003).
Weâll stay silent on the thing that everyone knows. I only keep basses that resonate with me, so I never have the intention of selling the ones Iâve kept. I wasnât looking to add to the number of basses that I have; and, quite frankly, I could not have responsibly afforded the two new ones without the two going out. To your unsaid point, things have tightened up here. Absent a beneficial both ways sale to a neighbor, I would have had to venture into the woes of the marketplace, or walk Hollywood Blvd. in my jean shorts.

Really want that new quad cortex mini. Iâve considered walking Colfax⌠but itâs -4 (freedom degrees for all of you using metric) outide, so thats a lot of shrinkage.

@faydout I put that line in and then took it out, because I knew where it might take the thread. Came back and edited it back in as necessary, but praying for the threads health. Stay warm, brother.

Happy to immediately jump on that and keep that gem here for everyone to enjoy

Very cool - congrats!!
Yeah, I wasnât going to go there, but yes that is probably a reason. People are cautious about how things are developing, and buying (expensive) used basses isnât on top of their to-do lists

Yep, the stars aligned for @booker_t.
Right time, right place (living next door to a willing/ready neighbor), right basses.
All that, plus being quick on the Sweetwater trigger on that sweet, sweet Fodera. 
You pulled off a hat trick, brother. Huge congrats, all around.

Too cold for Jean shorts here as well.
But no surprise that after a few days of playing the Baum Wingman is a keeper.
Selling the Schecter Session T, nice bass. But Iâm good with these two (for now until maybe a Stingray?).

Shorts are always appropriate.

This one is the one I feel silly not finding since I canât see any one with a âbow bridgeâ. I will try my search engin skills when itâs not 2330

Ok got it. Hereâs my upright. Not the typical bridge.

What happened to the white Jazz (you built?), @Barney?
And the Dingwall?

Finally succumbed to the urge for a Fender Flea Jazz bass. The new Flea and then with his siblings together.
-
First Bass Purchase: mid-range Fender P (so Iâll never need to upgrade:)
-
Second Bass Purchase: Dingwall JTS (now I REALLY have all I need:)
-
Third Bass: third time is a charm- the road-worn Flea I always wanted- that is IT for sure:)
