Steve_M Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I've decided to move my Fodera on, as it's just not getting the love these days. It's at The Bass Gallery in Camden, London, as they are commission selling it on my behalf - so can be viewed and played there if you want to. https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/fodera-monarch-standard-4 It was purchased from The Bass Gallery new, by me - I'm the only previous owner. It's an early Std bolt on model, before they introduced the current 'flat headstock' style standards with a string tree. It's basically a custom Fodera with a slightly smaller headstock, 2 band 18v Pope preamp, bolt on (but with body contouring at the neck pocket). Beautifully understated bass that plays like butter! I wish I could keep it just hanging on the wall but sadly not an option 😞 Subtle Flame maple front Mahogany body c/w ebony veneer insert 3 piece rock maple bolt on 24 fret neck with tilted headstock and matching ebony veneer. MoP Fodera butterfly inlay. Rosewood Fingerboard with MoP inlays Brass nut Gold hardware EMG Active P/J Pups Pope 18v 2 band preamp - Vol with pull passive/Blend/Bass cut-boost/Treble cut-boost Ernie Ball inset straplocks Fodera teardrop standard hard case It's in very nice condition, but does have one small 'scuff' on the inside of the lower horn and some very small marks on the top of the headstock. Looking for £3,250 Thanks for reading - feel free to PM me with any questions. For price negotiations, trade in talk, etc - please contact the guys at The Gallery. Edited August 19, 2019 by Steve_M Bass now sold
ordep Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I have the same, albeit chrome hardware, and can confirm that they are indeed wonderful instruments. These early standards are really special. Have a free bump. 1
