theshape101 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I've decided to sell my Fodera Monarch (I traded this away a while back but bought it back soon after) as I'm mostly playing my 5 string bass these days. This is a great playing and sounding bass and one I wanted for a long time before I bought it. It has the very versatile Mike Pope/Fodera preamp. The controls are stacked volume and tone roll off (that works in both active and passive mode) pickup pan, bass, treble and mid (cut and boost) and the switches are an active/passive toggle and an on/off switch. It's in great condition for a 14 year old bass. The front and back are in excellent condition but there's a few small dings on the top of the headstock and there's some dings on the bottom from an old stand I was using (see pic). I'm not really looking for any trades right now. Ships in a Fodera tear drop case. The bass is located in Cork in Ireland. Specs: Monarch Victor Wooten Classic Flame Maple top Mahogany body Indian Rosewood fingerboard Dovetail Neck Joint EMG P/J pickups Pope/Fodera Preamp Emperor Control Layout Gold Hardware 34" Scale 19mm string spacing (adjustable) Completed April 2000 Thanks for looking.

flippyfloop Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Stunning basses. I've yet to find a better 4 string IMO. Wish I could afford this.
theshape101 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Yes flippyfloop, they're great basses alright! I really like it and I've been back and forward about selling it but just thought I'd put it up for sale as I'm not using it enough to justify keeping it. Thanks JazzBassfreak. I'm not really looking for any trades right now. The only thing I'd probably consider is a Fodera 4 or 5 string, 33" or 34" with dual coil pickups! Edited June 9, 2014 by theshape101
