*** SOLD *** Fclef 4 strings jazz bass (Fodera preamp) £1550

[giovabass]

[color=#141414]SOLD For house / home studio gear investments, I'm considering selling my amazing Fclef Jazz 4.[/color]
[color=#141414]Conditions are excellent/very good; as far as I can see there's one small ding on the back of the body (see photos) but feel free to ask for specific infos or photos.[/color]

[color=#141414]For you not familiar with these basses, Fclef is a boutique bass maker affiliated with Fodera.[/color]

[color=#141414]Mine is one from the time when these were made in Japan by Bottom Wave (who was building the Fodera NYC line as well); I believe today's Fclef basses are made by Rbasses (USA).[/color]

[color=#141414]I had this bass some time ago in trade with the intention to immediately resell it, but when I played it was so good that I kept it and became my main "funk" bass.[/color]
[color=#141414]IMHE does one of the most accurate reproduction of the Marcus tone (check out Tamas Barabas video below) and possibly the lowest action that I've ever had on a bass - definitely on the same level of the Fodera, which build was actually inspired as a "modern" 5-string version of this very bass.[/color]

A pity that you are so far shipping and customs are very expensive.
If you would be closer I would have bought it, lucky.

For everybody: sorry if it was not clear in my first post, I can ship the bass from Italy after June 7 and save all the "customs/duty" costs!
