[@NelsonSegura]

Espectacular! congrats!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Mike definitely doesn’t skip leg day!! Hey Mike, next time Ryan is in the shop will you guys record a jam to post!?!

[@vilohdi7189]

[@TheOwenValentine]

[@johnconiglio9278]

[@russellzauner]

*the omnific has entered chat*

[@slapit145]

Everybody trying to sound the same in a fodera?

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Not Ryan Martinie homie!!

[@michaelanthony9068]

I’m going now to get my USA Standard Fender Jazz and sit in the shower and cry.

[@alfieharries]

Can't help but think these vids would be better if the bass was just recorded straight into software. Lots of nice comments about the tone but to my ears it just sounds awful, sorry. I know these basses can sound AMAZING but whatever you're using here (the amp or the mic) it just aint it

[@vince8081]

Lucky you : ))

[@patmayer7222]

,,,,,a dream instrument......6 string monster..........,,,wow,all day long...............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dream on!!!!!....

[@jeffreylopez8317]

First lol

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

Great bass not 11k great tho

[@jamesmarkham7489]

It's not impressive when a very expensive instrument is good. It's supposed to be, that's the baseline.

[@BrownThunderBass]

Value is subjective to the person. He went in to the shop and had them do a custom belly carve. I’ve had a friend that went in and had them carve the neck exactly the way he wanted it in his hands. Sound worth 11k to me.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Then go watch a Harley Benton video dude

[@streamerlx4927]

Fodera basses are a complete rip off! Way too expensive for what it is.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Then don’t watch

[@carlitoscuba16]

They will be a ripoff if nobody buys them, tell you more, this are the Basses the hold their prices best in the market, meaning if you buy one today and decide to sell few years later your money will still be there

[@MrStephanbrun]

This video is just realy bad. Feels like commercial on tv for a car. Lots of blah-blah like 'Garrington-spacing': 17, 18, 19mm, who knows.?

[@owenspence]

Garrison pickup spacing, from the garrison signature fodera.

[@BrownThunderBass]

A little research will show you what the Garrison spacing is if you really cared but I doubt you do.
