I would like to take a moment to thank the those of you who have reacted or got in touch about my Fodera. You have contributed to helping me make a decision which is a fairly straightforward one. Cheers, Hello All, I recently picked up my lovely Fodera Emperor in a 3 basses for 1 trade from Bass Bros. It’s a truly stunning example of a passive jazz bass and is indistinguishable from new, I cannot find a mark or ding anywhere on the instrument. Please see details below. Olympic White satin /white pickguard. Weight 4kgs. Hand-Selected, Premium Tone Woods in this case Alder Body and Rosewood neck. 34" Scale Length 22 Frets PLEK’d Compound Radius Fingerboard 3-Piece, Quarter-Sawn Hard Rock Maple Neck High-Mass, Proprietary, Adjustable, Bell-Brass Bridge Seymour Duncan Retrospec'd JJ Pickups, hum cancelling. Passive Electronics. Alder Body / Rosewood Fingerboard w/ 60’s Pickup Spacing Holly “F” / Buckeye Butterfly / Clay Dots Fodera case, tools and certification provided. I would prefer a trade for something along the lines of a 4 string active jazz or similar. Ideally I would like a trade for something where I can receive cash my way. Please note that for some strange reason my bass is still listed on Reverb as for sale by The Gallery for just over £5000. I believe it must have been there as a consignment sale and subsequently moved to Bass Bros from whence it came to me. I don’t have lots of photos yet as this is very much an opportunity to see what might be out there. If there is sufficient interest I will be happy to post more photos. Please rest assured this is an incredible instrument, it sounds and plays wonderfully well as you would expect, weighs 4kg so it’s not at all heavy, and has a Fodera D tuner fitted. Please do get in touch if you have anything to discuss. This is a rare beast, in fact I can’t see many for sale at all unless you want to ship from Japan and pay a small fortune in duty, vat, shipping etc and a purchase price of over £6000. Needless to say I won’t be upset if I have to keep her, but a recent job change means a bit of cash will come in handy. Please note that two of these photos are taken from the Reverb listing. Rest assured nothing dodgy, you can see the bass in its case on the floor of my home office/music room. Please feel free to check my feedback as well. Thanks for looking.

Stunning bass, and excellent playing. 👏

Stunning!

Sorry but I can’t help you with the location of said item but the signature is that of the luthier Bill Nash. Cheers, Mark.

This sale concerns the third of my basses, a Sandberg VT4 which was purchased earlier this year. During my brief period of ownership the bass has been stored in a temperature controlled environment at home and is in excellent as new condition. This bass plays beautifully and has recently had new Elixir 45-105 strings fitted, it’s also exceptionally light and weighs around 7lbs 12 oz. It comes with the Sandberg hang tag/instruction booklet and a high quality Sandberg gig bag. This model with the soft aged treatment and fingerboard markers sighs in at over £2000 so I feel that my bass is priced fairly for a quickish sale. If you’re local or just interested you can arrange to come and try it with no obligation. A buyer may organise hi/her own courier, however I am also happy to deliver with the NW of England and meet if you are traveling from further afield. Any questions please ask.

Owing to a change in working circumstances I am looking to sell 2 of my three basses although I will be listing all three. This is the second listing for my very recently purchased Duesenberg Alliance Dave Landreth Signature bass. This is probably the coolest bass I have ever owned. It arrived fitted with round wound strings which have been swapped out for a set of lovely Pyramid flats which deliver a wonderful old school vintage tone. The string height sits at a medium level and in my opinion suits a bass of this type allowing the bass notes to bloom fully. Whilst it’s a bass that you can play fast lines on, it’s more suited to a relaxed and grooving style where it really comes into its own. Think of Rob Mullarkey in Zero 7 (he played A Duesenberg Starplayer bass on some tracks which the Dave Landreth model stems from). The bass comes with a top class fitted case and the appropriate tools, certificate of authenticity etc. Here’s the spec, RRP for these basses is in the region of £2600. It goes without saying that my instrument is almost indistinguishable from new. Buyer can arrange their own carrier although I do advise that the bass is collected or handed over at a suitable meeting point. I am happy to deliver free of charge within the North West of England. Any questions please do let me know.

Owing to a change in work circumstances I will be selling 2 of my 3 bass guitars. This is the listing for the first one, an Alpher Hammerhead 4 string in fantastic condition. This is a tremendously versatile instrument with a huge variation in tone available via 2 custom wound Sunbear 51 p dual humbuckers and the 4 button pickup selection This bass has a standard tone pot rather than the 10 way selector switch. Here’s the spec, 21 fret 34 inch scale 1 piece curly Sassafras body Natural finish Gold headstock Logo Flatsawn Wenge neck Figured Ebony fingerboard (12 inch radius) 39mm brass nut width Jescar Evo Gold 43080 fret wire Luminlay side dot inlays 2 x Sunbear 51p humbuckers Brass patina pickguard Passive: Volume, 4 x on/off buttons (one for each coil) + normal tone pot. Hardware Gold / Black Mixed Hipshot Kickass Bridge Hipshot Ultralite Lollipop Tuners Schaller S-locks Black metal knobs Newtone Alpher strings 45-105 (nickel) Weight: 8lbs 12oz Hiscox Case included, along with multi tool. Alpher themselves have had a few hammerheads on their website recently, one ex demo @ £2495 and it sold within a week. There is a pre owned blue one in their web shop at the moment for the same price. I have priced mine at a lower rate to try and encourage a reasonably quick sale. I am based in Wigan. Any prospective buyer can call to try the bass without obligation.However I can deliver free of charge throughout the North West and meet up with any buyer elsewhere by prior arrangement. I will consider a trade or partial trade with cash my way for a solid bodied short scale bass along the lines of a Wilcock, Serek, JMJ Mustang, Kithara etc Thank you.
