mrbassman_de Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Selling my beloved Fodera Imperial 5 Spec: Chestnut Burl Top (not available anymore) Alder Body, Brazilian Rosewood Board 35 scale Year: 1999 Pickups: Seymour Duncans Dual Coils Pope preamp Weight: 4,7 kg Action is very low. Groundshaking B. I made a closer inspection on the bass and found a couple of small dings all over the body. So it lost the showroom condition some players might desire on those boutique basses. Besides this it is a wonderful playing and sounding Fodera with a still breathtaking top ! Selling only because I found a very expensive and wonderful early 60 JB :-) Bass is located in Duesseldorf / Germany. SOLD !

MrT-Bass Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Wow...Oh boy. I almost had to check the bank there but can now breath a sigh of relief! If it had been a 34" I may well have been tempted. You have a beautiful collection too...one other that would certainly be a temptation is your Emperor Elite Chestnut. That looks like just about my perfect bass. Good luck with the sale!!

Due to the dings I reduced the price dramatically.
