Fauxdera Yin Yang Standard (NOT a Fodera) - *SOLD* £1300 Etalle, South Belgium

[Hellzero]

This is NOT a Fodera Yin Yang Standard, but a luthier made almost new excellent copy that cost me €2750 Euros: sounds and look as good as the original, very lightweight without neck diving.

 

TRADES ARE WELCOME, BUT NO SHORT OR MEDIUM SCALE BASSES PLEASE!

NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE!


Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €1500 Euros (£1300 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!!


Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC.

Weight: 3.630 kilos

 

Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me)


Will be delivered in a brand new original Fodera case.

Non-smoking environment as usual.
 

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally and is totally copper shielded (absolutely dead silent instrument).

 

 

It has received a set of Fodera ultra light nickel round wound round core strings (40 - 55 - 75 - 95), which really serve this bass.

 

 

What you see is what you get !

 

 

Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is almost new.

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use.

 

 

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

 

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more.
