k-sad Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Hi all I put this baby up for sale 1989 Emperor II, Brian Barrett from the Low End was selling this one saying it was one of the very first Emperor II. This was originally a fretless with 26 frets, but the last 2 were "shaven" in 2010 when the bass was fretted prior to selling. It also got a new Pope preamp So what we have is : 35" 5 piece maple neck with walnut stringers ebony board 19mm spacing going down to 18 (which i'm currently using) alder body and alder tone block full lacewood top d-tuner Seymour Duncans single pickups 2010 3-band Pope Preamp with mid switch and active passive switch Frets, preamp, tuners, pickups and bridge look pretty much like new and everything is functional on this bass. It has a few dings and dongs on the body, mainly on the back part but nothing serious, in fact she's pretty well conserved for a 1989 bass (but not the pristine Fodera some look for) On the music side this bass is a VERY nice instrument, very resonant, well balanced, action is LOW and the singles make it more "traditional" sounding than most singlecut Foderas. You can hear it here : https://soundcloud.com/spoken-worlds, these are duets with vocalists so you can easily hear how it sounds Asking 5400 pounds or 6000€ shipped anywhere in Europe in a Protec semi hard case. Trade value 6500€ !!! Edited July 6, 2020 by k-sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-sad Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) New Years Bump Cash is king but as i got asked, i only have a few things in mind as far as trade goes : Straight trade for the right 34" or 33" Fodera, 5 or 6 string but must be under 19mm spacing and built before 2008 Part x for the right 34" bass, Fodera NYC, Wood and Tronics, Ken Lawrence, Alleva Copollo... again, 18mm tops This bass is in France by the way. Here is one example of the duets : [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoISTphstiQ"]https://www.youtube....h?v=CoISTphstiQ[/url] Edited January 2, 2016 by k-sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-sad Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 I found my dream sixer (Tom Clement in my avatar) and i'm definitely willing to downgrade and part with this baby !!! I have loved her very much and she replied very wishfully (i made a solo album and recorded quite a few things) This is the real thing will never let u down... A few battle scars but everything plays perfect !!! Part trade possible but i'd be very picky as i'm pretty sure i know what luthier will make my next/last bass... But u can always try me with a trade + cash 5100 GBP or 6000€ shipped in Europe This bass KILLS but i don't need that much of a bass any more Cheers !!!! www.soundcloud.com/spoken-worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
