Hi guys

Bump for a wrong price

I did post the price in Pund what was thinking Euro! That makes a big different LOL

I have tried to edit the price in first post but it wouldn't change.

The price is:

Pund - 5000
Euro - 6500

It's not much more than a Emperor Standard 5!

-Christian

Bump for a amazing rare Fodera Imperial with a good price!

Sorry - But Basschat wouldn't led me change the price in the first post

[molan]

That's a great price for something as nice as this. 35" is too much of a stretch for me (torn rotator cuff muscle) but I'd guess the B sounds tremendous.

Fodera somehow manage to make 33" scale B sound great so a 35" must be a monster

[JazzBassfreak]

The clarity on the B must be insane, beautiful bass. Fodera's are amazing, I love mine lots! GLWTS!

[Christian Houmann]

The B is amazing! I have 33' 34' and 35 scale Foderas and sound wise the 35 scale just killers the others. Sadly I do prefer my 33 scale for playability

[Christian Houmann]

Bump for a great bass and good price. Just a bit more than a Fodera standard Emperor 5 and you get these upgardes:

Tulipwood top and fingerboard (price alone for this wood is 3000 dollars)
Solid top on an Elite model
Woodcovers
5 piece maple neck

This bass kicks some serious butt

-Christian

[Christian Houmann]

No longer at hold! Possible buyer changed his mind!

I have sound clips of this bass. If you want them, then drop me a PM

-Christian

[rogerwilliamsen]

Send me a clip.

[gorandelac]

Send me clip too!

[Christian Houmann]

Just fooling around the bass - You get the idea of this amazing bass

Bump for a great bass! There is many great basses on the marked right now. But this is a "one of a kind" Imperial 5 for the same price as Emperor standard 5! You will not regret it

[Christian Houmann]

This bass still needs a new owner since I don't play it enough! Fodera just raised their prices! But you can get this one with the best priced Fodera in Europe

Happy new year

[viss1700]

Nice Bass Christian!
