Surprised you've still got this at that price.

This Fodera Koa Monarch 6 Bolt-On is a unique and rare design. 6 strings, 33" scale length and 16.5mm bridge spacing make this the most compact 6-er Fodera build allowing the player to access all of the benefits of an extended-range instrument with maximum ease and comfort. Fast solo runs, deep pocket grooves, chording in the upper register; This bass handles it all and with authority. A mahogany body and ebony fingerboard give this bass a clear and well balanced tone with a bell-like upper register. I've photographed two small marks near the lower horn. Other than that, it's pretty much bang on. Weight according to my bathroom scales is 10.4 pounds. I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset. No trades. Local pick up preferred but I would ship fully insured at the buyers expense.

Any photos?

Bump.

Total bargain. I wish this was rosewood.

Nice looking bass. It might be worth updating the title because this is not an American Standard model Jazz Bass though.

Having owned a New Standard myself, I don't doubt that this is a fine bass but I think it's very important to list things as accurately as possible.

I wait confirmation with Fodéra[/font][/color][/size] [/quote] Quick google of Fodera New Standard throws up these basses. As has been mentioned previously, it's a confusing naming used by Fodera. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fodera-monarch-new-standard.1225044/ https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nbd-my-first-fodera.1202510/ https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fodera-new-monarch-standard.1200645/ https://youtu.be/jp9wZxbWWu0 https://reverb.com/uk/item/2409662-fodera-monarch-new-standard-late-90s-quilt-maple

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1483363324' post='3206494'] Is it really only 8" wide? What size are the speakers? [/quote] No, it's actually 11" wide. I stupidly used incorrect information published on the Bass Direct web site. The speakers are 4".

[quote name='saroumane2005' timestamp='1483219370' post='3205559'] I missed the bass I had in sight, so back to a resonable price given that I'm no longer in a hurry [b][s]£[/s]3150 / 3700 €[/b] [b]but i really prefer a trade with a Ritter (4/5) or Wal (4/5)[/b] [/quote] I think Bass Club Paris may have mis-sold it to you with that description. I'd suggest you contact Fodera for information about this bass so you can hear it directly from them. It looks to be a New Standard model and while you can obviously ask for whatever amount of money you like, it might be difficult to sell at the price you'd like because this isn't a custom Fodera.

This looks like a Fodera Monarch New Standard model? It's very similar anyway. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280669-fodera-monarch-new-standard-4-strings-sold/

I took this in a part exchange - It's nice and light, very powerful for the size and generally sounds awesome. This amp is brand new.

Phil Jones Bass Double Four BG-75 BK Bass Combo Amplifier.[list] [*]Power Output: 70W RMS. [*]Speakers: 2 x PJB NeoPower Type C. [*]Controls: Level Selector, Volume, 3 band EQ, Aux Level. [*]Jacks: Input, Aux input, Headphone Out, DC-input. [*]Dimensions: 11" x 8" x 7" (W x D x H). [*]Net Weight: 8.8 lbs / 4 kg. [/list] The Double Four is a single channel bass amplifier that has an auxiliary input for ipad/ipod, mp3 or drum machine. It features 3 band EQ that is perfectly tailored for bass guitar, headphone out jack and a line out for recording. It is ideal for all kinds of basses and can handle the open B string on a 5 string bass with ease. The cabinet may be as small as a shoe box but it is built to the same standards of all PJB cabinets, heavily braced internally and damped with acoustic damping materials to prevent cabinet coloration that can kill the true sound of your instrument. What you hear from the Double Four is the closest you can get to how your instrument actually sounds. The Double Four may just be a practice amp but it does not mean that it has to sound like a practice amp. The sound is huge for its size and you may find it hard to believe that all the sound from your bass is just coming out of such a tiny jewel box. ----- Located in Bournemouth, Dorset and I'm happy to ship within the UK.

I know this doesn't help but had this been rosewood, I'd have had it! Great price. There are 3 or 4 US Standards for sale at the moment and they're all maple!

Bump.
