hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) It is with a heavy heart that I list this lovely Fodera bass, but I know it will find a good home and be equally enjoyed elsewhere. The entire spec is as per the Production Sheet below. The bass was completed in February 2012. I bought it just under a year ago from Bass Gear for the above sale price and it has been barely used since. Shipping will be extra. It will be boxed and well protected. The only significant point of note is a slight swirling to the painted black area near the P pick-up, which I would suggest is almost unavoidable on these unless it is left unplayed. Cost new would be $5050.00 plus 20% VAT and 3% Import Duty. Listed on Thomann for just under £4k. Feel free to PM me for any further information. Any personal inspection welcome. Sorry, but no trades. Edited July 19, 2016 by hiram.k.hackenbacker

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 I was having a little noodle on this last night and IMHO the necks on these are just fantastic. Not as wide as my Stingray, not quite as narrow as my Jazz and with probably a tiny bit more meat on the depth of it. With a P and a J pick-up, combined with a great Pope pre-amp, you can get pretty much any sound you like. "So if it's that great, why sell it?" I hear you ask. Deluxe version awaits :-)
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 All PM's replied to. I would like to reiterate as stated above, that this is a sale only item. NO TRADES thank you.
