FT: Ken Lawrence ChamberBrase 5 Premium Koa Top - Gone £5800

[mrbassman_de]

I know it is a long shot but I am looking for a Fodera 6 string in very good condition and offer this wonderful and brandnew masterpiece from Kenneth Lawrence as a trade-in, a Chamberbrase II 5-string with a breathtaking Koa Top.

SOLD !!!

Kenneth Lawrence Chamber Brase II 5

Body: Chambered one piece Alder with premium Hawaiian Curly Koa top
Neck: 3 piece Eastern Maple, Hawaiian Curly Koa head cap
Fingerboard: African Ebony with "Blind binding", Australian Paua Shell Block Inlays
Finish: Oil and Wax
Pickups: Nordstrand hum-cancelling J pickups in matching Ebony covers
Preamp: Pope 4-Bd Flexcore
Scale: 34"
Weight: around 4kg
Built in August 2012
Estrella Gigbag

The top is from the same wood piece which Ken used for his own Chamberbrase. A wonderful bass with a fantastic organic, wooden sound, silky highs and warm mids and lows. The bass listed for 9.300 Euro and is nearly unplayed - not a single mini mark on it. I purchased it in August 2012 new from clubbass.ca.

I am looking for a Fodera 6 string only - scale does not matter. Even 36" are fine with me. Not too heavy !

Please do not offer anything else, I would let this go only for the right Fodera 6 ! Trade value about 5.800 GBP. The bass is located in Duesseldorf / Germany.

Let me know what you have... I'm not really expecting offers, but who knows :-)

That is probably the most amazing bass I have ever seen... (Besides my 10 string of course!)

I want this... BUT as the case so often is, there's just no way I could ever justify that kind of spend. The bass is worth every penny, but I'd have to sell BOTH testicles to afford it, and I need at least one.

Awesome bass... If you ever want to trade it for 2 custom 6 strings instead of 1 fodera, let me know. I could probably make a reasonable offer!

That is just beautiful.

I would pretty much trade everything I own for this... STUNNING. I don't however have a 6 string Fodera. Bump for a stunning bass.

this looks so stunning... i can`t help myself, but everytime i look at the shape of a chamberbrase i see a little cute icebear lying on a neck and i`m in love

just out of curiosity: is the flexcore pre the stock pre? how does it sound? Edited March 22, 2013 by doki

What a bass. I don't have a fodera 6 to trade but I do have a semi now.

Any audio/video clip?

My dream bass. Unicorn sh*t is easier to find than these basses in the UK. Ken doesn't build many of them. I would give my eyes for this bass!

Man I wish I had a Fodera 6 string to trade you, might have to go looking for one. If this KL is anything like mine it makes the 40 plus Fodera's I've owned sound silly and look cheap, but that is just my opinion.

[mrbassman_de]

Thanks for all comments ! Seems that this wonderful bass will stay here in Germany. Bass is on hold for 2 weeks.
