mrbassman_de Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I'm selling my just received [color=#FF0000][b]Fodera NYC EMPIRE Deluxe 5[/b][/color] - world-class Jazz Bass clone with Fodera quality, but I'm looking for something different. The Specifications are as follow: * Fodera Empire NYC 5 Deluxe * Birth Year: 2004 * Model: NYC 5 Deluxe * Top Wood: Quilted Maple * Body Wood: Alder * Finish: Translucent Green, Matching Headstock * Fingerboard: Rosewood * Neck Wood: 3-pc. Hard Rock Maple * Headstock: Angled (similar to the "big" Foderas, not flat like on the Standards) * Neck Joint: Bolt-on * Scale Length: 34" * Strings: 5 * Frets: 21 (Large) * FB Inlay: Pearl Dots * Hardware: Gold (incl. knobs) * Pickups: Fodera / Duncan J/J Single Coils * Pickup positions: 70s Jazz Bass * Preamp: Specially designed and built Mike Pope Circuit w/Master Volume/Master Tone (passive) stackpot, blend, bass cut-boost, treble cut-boost, passive switch * Contr. Layout: NYC * Weight: 4.6 kg * String Spacing at bridge: Adjustable 18.5 - 19.5 mm * Case: Noname lightweight case * Retail Price 2011: $4.250,- (now discontinued) The bass has some small dings here and there, but nothing to be shown in pics, neck is flawless, frets in very good condition, All electronical and mechanical parts are working flawless. Truss rod works fine and the screw turns quite easy, tuning machines are turning smooth and even. The board is a wonderful piece of Indian Rosewood with attractive grain. The body and headstock are painted in a translucent green finish which doesn't hide the beautiful quilted maple underneath. The gold plating on the Fodera bridge is a bit faded on the bass side. A transparent pickguard is currently mounted, but I will throw in a black 3-ply guard as well.

mrbassman_de Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 [quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1378508657' post='2201418'] No trades? [/quote] Look at the end of the original post - I'm open to offers, but don't be disappointed if I say NO as I already own too much equipment. Not interested in amplifiers, cabs or other gear, only basses or high end acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbassman_de Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi all, Thanks for your kind comments. I have just thrown my eyes on a particular bass. So I am looking for a straight and quick sale and [color=#ff0000][b]reduce the price to 1.800 GBP / 2.000 Euros[/b][/color] plus shipping from Germany as long as that bass is available.
