portraitoftracy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I did receive a deposit on this instrument but the buyer was having a hard time coming up with funds so I sold them one of my cheaper Fodera's, so this one is now available. Mint condition, pristine Fodera Imperial MG Shape 34 scale 4.08 kg, yes nice and light for an Imperial ash body flame maple tone block 3 piece maple neck birdseye maple fingerboard with abalone inlays two tone buckeye burl top dual coils with matching buckeye burl covers newest pope preamp OHSC and case candy This is one of rarest Fodera 4 strings out there, this bass plays and sounds superb. The price of this bass new is right around 10,000 euros. [s]7,995 , [/s]reduced fro quick sale 7,195 euros shipped to Europe, I am willing to declare any value the buyer desires to lower import taxes.

lozbass Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Lovely, miss my MG5 (though the board was far too wide for me). What's the string spacing, nut-width and build year on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portraitoftracy Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1345971769' post='1783584'] Lovely, miss my MG5 (though the board was far too wide for me). What's the string spacing, nut-width and build year on this? [/quote] The string spacing is 19.5mm, nut width is 39.5mm, it was built on October 2009 right when they started using the newest pope preamp where you can move the jumpers and have the third switch become a mid boost instead of a on/off switch. The bass was owned by someone who never took it out of the house before me, hence its pristine condition.
