trim Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) SOLD Fodera MG 5 Elite 28/ 01/ 2008 Serial num: MG52885N Buckeye top Walnut Maple neck Neckthru construction Birdseye maple fretboard 5 strings 34' scale 26 frets 19.5 mm string space Match headstock Match pickup covers Mike pope preamp Ducan dual coils pickup B xtended Ramp Painted grain Original case Mint condition 10,8 pounds (4.9 kg) It is a wonderful bass, supreme construction and dream playability. The sound is clean and woody and between series/ parallel, active /passive pickups and the active eq, I would say that this one can cover all. The neck pickup can sound very pbass and the bridge cuts through all. The extremely fast slim neck, plus the Birdseye maple fingerboard, makes it "too" easy to play. The action can go ridiculous low and still allows going heavy on the right hand. Despite the 10,8 pounds (4,9kg), the balance is so good that i don't feel like it is heavier than my BBNE2 (that is about to go to the market as well) The bass is in Mint condition. As a wonderfull wood grain. And the only scratch is at the bottom. There's also a tiny mark on the the top near the volume knob that it is not a scratch on the veneer, so i would say that it is something to do with the aging. Apart from that the bass its in perfect conditions and it plays amazing. Will go with the original case. I bought it, here at basschat last year, and as you can imagine it's not easy to let it go, but since there I've only used twice on studio and nothing else. Being my self a Yamaha artist 99% of the times i go with a Yamaha bass, but to be honest I am getting to that fase in life that all i ear in my head is a 4 string pbass. I know that, a few years ago i would rather only have this one on my quiver, but my ears and heart are keep pointing to the pbass. So this is the only reason why i'm selling this beauty. I can ship all over the world, but it will be at buyers costs. Theres a MRW office near by, and it is a company that i trust. Also, can meet near Spanish border or even better, I can meet or pick the buyer at the Lisbon airport in order to facilitate the business. Anything else maybe possible, it is just a case of possible ideas. Edited December 26, 2022 by trim 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
