Congratulations, Denson! She's a beauty, and in great hands. You sound amazing on it!

[@dr_bassius]

Thanks Samuel. 💜💜💜

[@eggx-9463]

I've dreamed of a 7 string Fodera since I was in high school. That is incredible ✌

[@ampthebassplayer]

I can't believe I got to touch it. She's a special bass!

[@nickpicc]

I hope this bass sets the standard for your 2021! That thing is sweet!

[@carlitoscuba16]

that's one of the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen, congrats!!!!!

[@PrincessBalamb]

WOW!!! Congratulations on the new bass! It is actually my dream to own a 7 string Fodera someday, so to see Fodera provide such an impeccable work of art to such a talented bassist is really something to behold. The team really went all out on the details for your bass, especially with that amazing inlay. Glad to see that you had such a beautiful Christmas, and not to mention SO MUCH GRATITUDE. That level of joy is so refreshing to see in spite of everything that has happened this year. I don't see the Masterbuilt section updated with your bass just yet, so I am a little curious about the specs. If you don't mind me asking, what is the scale length and string spacing for your bass? Previously, I noticed that Fodera's 7 string basses were typically 35" inch scale and tend to have the 16.5mm spacing bridge. I also noticed that most of them were using the Emperor II body shape (with the exception of a really, really old 7-String Monarch picture that I have and Anthony Wellington's Emperor 7 Bolt-on).

[@dr_bassius]

Thanks so much! They’re likely to update when they get back to the shop on the 4th. It’s a 34” with 17.5mm spacing. This is also the viceroy body.

[@joaniepeters2565]

That’s a beautiful bridge bass

Congrats! It is BEAUUUUUUTIFUL! Merry Christmas

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈

[@impulsor666]

I wonder, did you choose a gigbag for your bass instead a case? I've would rather to pick a case instead a bag

[@dr_bassius]

Fodera selected the case because of the length of the instrument. it's so long that it wouldn't fit in any of their hard cases! :0

[@Hang-san]

He obviously is a bassist with a very good in any case soft heart. He is going very far with his ideas on a dream bass which he plays and beats up in a very musical way. The sound is really great and rich. But: Dr_bassius pls take care not to overplay with your 7string. You have to choose tones very carefully. Basses in the background can go now, this bass is the only instrument a bassist needs in addition to an upright bass. Thumps up!

[@АнатолийКунашев]

[@kengagnon6192]

Hi I am really thinking of getting a seven string bass I have been learning guitar , but I'm still a bass player , and into playing chords on bass

[@dr_bassius]

Very cool. My next video that’s coming is a bass-chords video!! Stay tuned! 🔔

[@benrechakiewicz3594]

That is the sexiest bass I've ever seen. Love that extra function with the hip shot tuner. Saves having to get a low f# string. Whats your opinion on a BTB 7 something more in my price range. 👍

[@dr_bassius]

The btb are nice. I played one at NAMM.

[@benrechakiewicz3594]

Thabks for replying Ive got a BTB7 now and loving it. I can't put it down.🤘

[@WrkBassShredder]

How much was it brother

[@YONIthebassist]

[@AlexOnBass]

Awesome bass! Being that this was fairly recent, what was the build time on this bass??

[@dr_bassius]

About 8 months for this one. Build times vary.

[@matejgrim]

[@absurdcus]

That' is awesome sounding bass!! Congratulations!! How light is it??!! My mouth won't shut from beginning of this video.

[@dr_bassius]

I’ll weigh it later but it feels like a p bass lol

[@dr_bassius]

I weighed it. 11 lbs

[@miggie6197]

im not a bass player.... im just curious tho... if a bass has 6 strings, is it just a lower deeper guitar?

[@dr_bassius]

The 6 string bass has a lower string than the standard 4 string E. And one higher. a C. So the strings are B-E-A-D-G-C on a six. the EADG strings are an octave lower that the guitar's counterpart EADG strings. The 7 string adds a higher string, F.

[@FlareXbass]

Well, a guitar is tuned E-A-D-G-B-E but a six string bass is tuned B-E-A-D-G-C, so it adds a lower string compared to a 4 string (E-A-D-G) and a higher one that is tuned C instead of a high B like a guitar

[@dar3qz]

Please provide info on how to locate the gig bag?

Thank you for your kind response.

[@dr_bassius]

@@dar3qz my pleasure

[@MisterRorschach90]

A master built fodera that came in a gig bag. For the amount we all know you spent on this thing, it’s insane that they couldn’t make a custom case or find a case that would fit. You had to spend at least 7-15k on that thing.

[@dr_bassius]

I chose. It’s 47” long and I don’t use hard cases for gigs. It wasn’t cost effective to make a tear drop case to fit it. This case is perfect for my needs. Thanks for watching!!

If I got a 7 string I'd have it setup with a low F#

[@dr_bassius]

That would be fun! This goes down to the low G which is only a half step away from that F# 😊 so almost an 8 string lol 😝
