mrbassman_de Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Update by Jan 1st: Buyer‘s from within UK should be aware that for imports from EU to UK since Jan 1st the UK VAT will be applicable. This VAT has to be paid by the UK buyer once the goods are crossing the borders. Note: As a private seller in EU I can not reduce the price for second hand goods as VAT has never been included in the price. This is the original Matt Garrison Signature 5 model in top condition ! Specs: Amazing Chestnut Burl Top 5pc Ash Neck, 33" Walnut Body Chestnut Tone Block Chestnut Ramp (curved) Ebony Board 19mm spacing Newer (post 2009) Pope preamp with all the jumpers Aguilar DCB5 pickups (original Seymour Duncan Duals shown in the pics will come with the bass !) Weight 4.9 kg Original Fodera HC Everything works fine, technically and aesthetically top ! The Aguilars provide a more aggressive timbre compared to the Duncans. I personally like that Aguilar sound - consider Janek Gwizdalas Fodera which is also a 33" with Aguilars. The Aguilars are not splittable so the Single/Parallel Switch is now a kill switch. The other switches are active/passive and a frequency selector for the EQ. Asking 7900 EUR (approx. 7100 GBP today) plus shipping from Duesseldorf/Germany. Edited February 13, 2021 by mrbassman_de 12
flamencito Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I had the chance to play that bass a while ago and I can assure that it is the absolute bomb.
funkypenguin Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Holy moly, thats amazing!!! love the chestnut topped Matt Garrison Foderas! 1
three Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Pretty sure this used to be mine - a very nice bass and my favourite of the Fodera shapes. From memory, I picked it up in Glasgow around 2010? Balances well and easy to play (it was only the width of the board that led to the sale). The chestnut top is lovely
mgauction Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 I had a 4-string version of this chestnut and I believe it went to Spain. The sorriest transaction I ever made...

TheGreek Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Love the top...expect to see a few more customs using Chestnut facings.

I sold this bass around 6 or 7 years ago and I'm pretty sure that the spacing is adjustable. My decision to sell was based partially on the width of the board, though it's all down to personal preference, of course. I prefer skinny, narrow, (and more recently) short-scale necks Edited December 4, 2020 by three

So I would say about +/- 0,5mm per String. 18mm for all strings may work, but that's definitely the limit. That would be -2mm on the outer 2 spacings and currently there is not so much space. Some players think that a variable string spacing of +/- 1 mm per string means, that you can get a 18mm spacing out of 19mm standard. That's not true because the outer strings have to move 2mm then. 1
