portraitoftracy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Here is the deal, this bass is currently in route to me directly from Fodera, I receive the bass this Saturday. It is brand new just completed this month. Selling because I don't think I can afford to keep her and I don't even want to unpack the bass once I get it since I know I will fall in love with her. The only thing different than the pictures on Fodera's site is that I had them change the hardware to black to contrast the burl top. I can even provide tracking information and emails from Fodera to show that this bass is on it's way to me directly from the shop. The weight is 10.1 pounds, actually light compared to most Fodera's. Priced at about 1,000 euros less than it would cost new, and it is new. [url="http://www.fodera.com/Main/NewBornDetails.aspx?FeaturedItemID=347"]http://www.fodera.co...turedItemID=347[/url] $6995 euros plus shipping (roughly $150 euros) Yes, I am in the United States, yes I have sent basses to Europe before and can provide references. You can email me directly or message me here, [email protected] thank you [b] Buckeye Burl Emperor 5 Deluxe[/b] [list] [*][b]Birth Month:[/b] [/list] February [list] [*][b]Birth Year:[/b] [/list] 2012 [list] [*][b]Model:[/b] [/list] Emperor 5 Deluxe [list] [*][b]Top Wood:[/b] [/list] Buckeye Burl [list] [*][b]Body Wood:[/b] [/list] Ash [list] [*][b]Fingerboard Wood:[/b] [/list] Birdseye Maple [list] [*][b]Neck Wood:[/b] [/list] 3-pc.
