eevespete Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) PRICE DROP - £5000 ono Hi guys, For sale is my stunning series 1 Fodera MGS #46, signed by Joey Lauricella. I picked this instrument up last year and it is honestly the best bass I have ever had the pleasure of playing and owning. This bass is in 100% as new condition, It is ABSOLUTELY MINT . It has been cared for and maintained meticulously. Recently oiled and restrung with the Fodera 100-28 set. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Specs of the bass can be found here: [url="http://fodera.com/matt-garrison-standard/"]http://fodera.com/ma...rison-standard/[/url] [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2012/01/20/fodera-introduces-matt-garrison-standard-bass/"]http://www.notreble....-standard-bass/[/url] The series II, shown in the link (virtually the same bass) features a madagascan kingwood board and a madrone burl top - My bass being the series 1, features a pau ferro board and a box elder burl top. Comes with original hard case - also in perfect condition, with case candy Thanks for reading, Peter Edited July 27, 2015 by eevespete
Sibob Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I've played this bass, it's absolutely stunning!! To the point where it convinced me to order one! Buy with confidence! Si
molan Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Really quite rare to see one with Joey's signature as well. You sometimes see Vic Wooten signed ones (usually on the control panel cover) but not anything from one of the two luthier partners.
eevespete Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Bump Forgot to say, I'm the first owner of this bass, bought from new
Sibob Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1432301241' post='2780209'] That is lush. I play 5's less than 50% of the time so can't really justify the purchase, but that is truly lovely. GLWTS. [/quote] It's funny, I don't really consider it a 5, as the business end is just a low E rather than a low B getting in the way. It's easier to 'ignore' the high C if it's not appropriate for your gig Si

Spend £6k on a bass and ignore one of the strings :-)

Actually, think I'll order myself a Fodera 5 string so I can just use the B as a thumb-rest :-)
eevespete Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 Bump. Open to any 'reasonable' offers around that price point..
eevespete Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) PX's welcomed... Vintage/CS Fender, Fodera, MTD + cash my way .. (any interesting 4, 5 or 6's) Edited June 7, 2015 by eevespete
eevespete Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I'm putting this up again, A long and short story - my [url="http://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-IV/Newborn-1060/"]http://fodera.smugmu...V/Newborn-1060/[/url] was recently finished and landed in my hands last thursday (2nd).. Originally, I decided I would hold sell my MGS to front the rest of the money together for the custom but some last minute wizardry and I managed to get the money together for the custom and still able to hold on to this .. The new imperial came and surpassed all expectation.. Following a brief few words with Christian H .. I had a stark realisation that I really don't need two imperials with a close spec like this so its a conundrum that lies somewhere between 'lucky/fortunate' and 'immoral/unnecessary'.. .. So really, I'm freeing up some funds here.. I'm in no rush to sell but would prefer a cash sale as I have my eyes on another instrument.. The only things of interest are: FODERA 4's and 6's (would love a deluxe). ALLEVA 5's. VINTAGE FENDER (60's P's). Apologies for the essay, just wanted clarification for anybody wondering! Thanks guys Edited July 8, 2015 by eevespete
eevespete Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Very sorry about that Ben. There were a few interested parties hence the longer explanation in my last post.. Apologies
