mrbassman_de Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Fodera Matt Garrison 4 Maple Burl Top & Back This is a breathtaking MG4 with super rare Presentation Grade Maple Burl Top AND Back and numerous other upgrades ! Although a very unique and fantastic bass I would be happy to trade it against a Fodera 5 or 6 with similar value. I would highy prefer Emperor, Emperor 2, MG or Imperials, perhaps Monarch, no AJ model, Presentations or Bolt-Ons, no 36". Let me know what you have. Spec: Presentation Grade Maple Burl full top and back Maple Burl electronics cover plate, cut out from the Back wood piece Walnut body, Chestnut tone block (now distinct) 5-pc Ash neck Ebony board with Abalone blocks, 22 frets 33 scale, 19mm +/-0.5mm at bridge Year: around 2005 Pickups: Seymour Duncan Dual Coils with Ebony cover (non-eyposed) Pope preamp Ebony ramp Weight: 4,44 kg Original case and tools Action is very low and playability is unbeatable. Even if this is one of the smaller Foderas the sound is as dominant and responsive like on the bigger models. Foderas with exhibition grade top and back wood are extremely rare finds. This bass retails new for more than 15.000 USD plus shipping/VAT. Two after-market Ebony ramps will come with the bass. The bass is top condition, only 2 very small dings on the body sides which are not visible without a close inspection. Frets, Truss Rod, Action, Tuners, Electronics - everything works perfect. The bass features a SHORTER fretted area (22 frets) to improve the slap capabilities. I personally prefer slapping on 21/22 fret basses because it sounds fuller and more organic than slapping on 24 fret boards. Shipping from Duesseldorf / Germany. Asking 7.000 GBP or 7.700 Euro plus shipping from Duesseldorf. Tradewise I am looking ONLY (!) for the following: Other Foderas (see above), pre-CBS Fenders, Alleva Coppolo 5ers, Ken Smith Elite 5ers. Nothing else please ! 2 for 1 or 1 plus cash for one is fine with me. Edited April 14, 2019 by mrbassman_de 1
