Thread: Skin DEEP 2015 - From The Vaults

  1. #1

    Default Skin DEEP 2015 - From The Vaults

    Okay, I guess when the vote is 7-1, it's time to call MERCY!

    The Fodera Monarch 4 Deluxe Bass toppled the Adamovic Saturn 5-string Bass, and so retains the crown for another week.

    The reason I chose this week's challenger is because we featured her in Skin DEEP back in 2013, and she struck more than a few people as a winner! Since the Monarch is very popular because of her Ebony top, I tried to think of other great basses with Ebony tops that might give her a run for her money.

    This bass came to mind. What do you think?

    She's the Xylem 5-String Fretless Bass, sometimes called the Zio.

    With two Ebony top basses in this week's round, it should be interesting. The Fodera's gorgeous stringer/neck-through design versus the Xylem and its ornate curled horn.
