It's with a heavy heart that I advertise this bass. I acquired this earlier in the year from another member on this forum. It's everything I had hoped it would be, however, with another baby on the way and the need for a car with a bigger boot, I can't currently justify having an instrument of this value in my collection.

It plays fantastically with a low action - bell-like clarity across the scale of the instrument and sustain for days. Fantastic balance also, not a hint of neck dive. 

The condition is good, there are signs of wear but nothing significant. It comes with the original Fodera case and toolkit. Certificates of Authenticity were not issued during this era however if you wish to email the serial number to Fodera, it matches up with the records they have on their database. 

The specs:

Fodera Imperial Elite 5 string made in 2001

34" scale

Buckeye Burl top, Mahogany body, Maple tone block, 3 piece maple through neck, ebony board, ebony ramp, ebony truss rod cover.

Pope preamp - a couple of months ago this was sent to Mike Pope for some refurbishment - volume and tone pot replaced along with new battery terminals. The switches are for active / passive, single / dual coil and a kill-switch.

Weight - 4.75kg

I am happy to ship this anywhere but it would need to be insured - I have plenty of sturdy packaging. Collection from Cardiff would be ideal.

I have lots of feedback here on Basschat: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/192340-feedback-for-woolf/?tab=comments#comment-4279789

Any questions - please don't hesitate to get in touch. I would prefer a sale on this one but would consider part-trades with cash in my direction.

Shame it’s collection only - otherwise I would be tempted!

HI, would you be ok to deliver in Paris,France?

 

Yes -

no problem at all - if you PM me your address I can work out a delivery estimate.

Lovely bass Alberto. 😍

I have these two Badass bridges for sale. One is chrome and one is gold effect but fading in places to show the chrome.

The gold one is missing a single height intonation screw - easy enough to replace I should think. UPDATE - thanks to the kindness of the fellow bass-chatter below, the grub screw is now replaced and the bridge is back to full functionality.

Chrome - SOLD

Gold - £65 posted

What’s the neck like, and how big are the frets?

Hi there, I’m not really sure how to answer this! This is my only reference point of an electric guitar - I’ve never owned another, so not really sure how it would compare to others.

Neck feels nice to me! It’s straight! I think the frets are standard size for this guitar.

Sorry I cant be more helpful.

5P in action

The serial number is H31035 which I believe dates this to 1991.

The weight is 4.65 kg.

Time to shift another bass that’s not getting enough use. The build quality of this is phenomenal. Great neck with Ebony fingerboard that is soooo dark!

It’s in superb condition, a small paint chip (circled) is the worst of it. A thumb rest has been added which can be removed but will leave two screw holes.

It’s been modded with a John East preamp that contains vol, pickup pan, bass, treble, mid, mid freq and separate piezo blend, piezo tone, Active / passive switch.

33.75” scale

19mm string spacing

EDIT - Now includes Hiscox Liteflite hard case (not the one pictured).

£975 > Now £950 delivered in the UK.

What’s the weight please?

4.2 kg

£13.56 seems like a good price for these:

Hmm - I wonder if the seller used an alternative account to bid on the item creating an unofficial reserve.

I like the look of this bass but something just doesn’t feel right. 
 

Also - does anyone think the nut width looks like more of a jazz ?

This is an awesome ‘player’ grade Les Paul with a fair amount of real road wear from many many hours of play.

It’s a 1995 model and has an ebony fingerboard which is a little more desirable than the rosewood which many of these typically possess. There’s plenty of scratches and wear spots but nothing significant that impacts playability.

Recently strung with a new set of super slinky’s. Includes a hard case (not photo’d)

Trial / Pickup in Cardiff. Happy to post but will need to source a suitable box.

Cheers buddy.

Paul bought an amp from me. Perfect, no-nonsense deal with lightning-fast payment. Cheers! 

Did this sell? 

Open to sensible offers. 😊

The switch is for tonal presets such as ‘fingerstyle’ , ‘slap’ , ‘pick’ , ‘solo’. I didn’t take much notice of them to be honest as found the standard preamp controls useful enough. 

Ahhhh - I’ve been so unsure about this, however since purchasing a few months ago, all of my musical ventures have collapsed and it’s a luxury I can’t really justify keeping.

I’m sure if you’re considering one of these you will know all about them and will have heard how very awesome they are.

There are some great videos posted on YouTube from WoT of this forum.

It’s not left the house, not been gigged (obviously), so it’s all mint apart from some scuffs on one of the securing clips for the lid which were actually present when I received the amp.

I have all the original boxing and packaging so it can be sent safely. Price includes UK delivery or collect in Cardiff and I’ll knock off £15.

I bought this as a backup bass to my main 5 string and it’s barely been used. It’s in 9.5/10 condition (a few very minor scuffs if you look hard).

This is outstanding value for money and it punches well above its weight. I can wrap it up well for shipping or can include a tatty (but useable) hard case (pictured) for an extra £20

Any questions get in touch.

That burl is gorgeous 😍

I want a BB3000 in metallic red or Wine Red

There’s a red one on Reverb at the mo (In the UK). Pickup’s changed and brass surrounds missing unfortunately but still quite tempting...

I have an ‘84 BB3000 (black sparkle) modded with a BB2024 P p’up that has hung around for a few years now (which is quite an achievement for me!)

I’ve had 3 BB1024’s come and go, fantastic basses... I periodically convince myself I need a backup for the BB3000 when I really don’t.

Phew! 

Wow - someone buy this quick. It’s practically on my doorstep... must fight GAS!
