    this bass got a small risk on the finish , that happends sometimes after first  internatinal shipping ist not geting worse since then

     

     

    To avoid this, it's very important to not open a new package for about 24-48 hours, to let the bass slowly acclimate inside, at least during the winter, or after a long flight. It's hard, but it's worth the wait.

     

    Reason for this happening, is the wood expanding faster than the finish, leaving it no time to adapt, and then the finish cracks.

     

    It's only cosmetic damage in the finish but a shame to have.. Fodera's satin finish are very sensitive to this :( 

     

    Just thought people should know more about this to avoid it!

  2. Those cracks are nothing to worry about, but to avoid them, you need to avoid large temperature shocks, like unpacking the bass directly after delivery (especially in winter times, when the bass is nearly freezing)

     

    My First Fodera had plenty of these cracks everywhere, fault of previous owners, went from Denmark to China, back to Denmark and so on. But it's absolutely nothing to worry about. Beautiful bass!

    Think we have a slow market here at present!

    It was to be expected because of Brexit, and might never get any better for the used market mostly, which means us, the private sellers :( 

     

    A Modulus like yours would (now) sell for 3.000 Euros here in a day

  5. Possibly the best guy I've ever dealt with!

    Bought a Fender Jazz American Performer from Dave, the bas was well packed, in like brand new condition, fantastic bass, and the communication was the best ever! 

    Thank you again!
