yorick Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Nice bass, but when he says "zero bidders not welcome, messages will be deleted" makes him sound a bit of an @rse really. Quote
Kiwi Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Not many of them around according to David Beasley. Quote

Delberthot Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I'm just thinking - £3500 for a fancy coffee table with veneer covering the pickups and cheap 20p plastic knobs. Where's the jewel encrusted, solid gold ones? Quote

Delberthot Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Anyone else noticed that the postage is really high? You think he's delivering it door to door? Quote
lozbass Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I don't know the seller directly but I believe he's a good guy. I know something of the provenance of this bass and it's a nice one. It has some features that you don't find on all Foderas - extra laminate in the body etc. I think the stacked knobs are steel/alloy and the others may be plastic (I'm not sure). Anybody with more than a passing interest in Fodera would have an idea why Nick's was knobless (that must have been very expensive!) To be honest, given the current market, I think the bass is a little on the expensive side - especially so given what looks like a decent-sized (but fixable) ding. The seller has sold some very lovely - and very expensive basses - over the past month or two and his prices are usually on the high side (thus, there's usually some re-advertising and price reduction for anybody who's seriously interested).

BossHog Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 [attachment=19408:picture_1_051.jpg] [attachment=19407:Imperial...keye_Top.jpg] Yes. The bass, middle, treble eq pots do have plastic knobs...... Quote
Tait Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 £3000 for a bass and hes not posted a full body picture of it from the front Quote
lozbass Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Yep, played the MG last night and they're plastic knobs - the volume/pan feels like metal Quote
