Don't have a clue whether it's worth the $8500 price tag or not, but for that amount of money, there are far to many dings, dents, and belt marks on it for my liking. Still, it's a beautiful bass, and I'll bet it sounds great!

I just stumbled across this post over at TB and got a chuckle, so I thought I'd share.

So in 2005 he buys the Fodera for $1999, then tells everyone how a Modulus Q6 is way overpriced at $6000. Now he wants to sell his Fodera for $8500 - that has so many dings and scratches in it that it looks like a relief map of a dried-and-parched African river system... Although if you look at their pricing guide, and compared to a new Anthony Jackson model - which is currently listed at $20,000! - I guess buying his would be a major score at this point. That is literally twice the amount they are charging for any other custom model. Alembic is the only other company off the top of my head that charges prices like these...

Even so, for $8500, it needs to be in much better shape cosmetically IMHO....

$1999 to $8500 = Profit. Fodera are nice but there are much better basses for half the price. It's the name, location, quality build and low volume of builds per year your paying for. Good basses... If your well off financially. My 2 cents of course.

Well, here is the thing, a 1990 AJ model is not the same as the current AJ model that costs $20K (chambered body, 36"-scale, exhibition-grade woods, etc.). The 1990 model is more like a current 6-string Elite model (whichever body shape), which is just under $10k. So to order a new similar bass to that 1990 AJ would cost just around $10K, not $20K.

I'd value it at $5000.

people who sell those basses just don't get it but try to keep the "value" high (also with talking about delivery times of 3 years + which now are down to 15/16 month since nearly 2 years)

this AJ bass has NOTHING to do with the AJ Presentation Bass for 20.000,- dollars (of course this is a crazy price)

This Bass has only the old shape of the old AJ Contrabass guitar and you could get a new Fodera with that shape for the list price of an elite model (if you don't need any fancy extras)
