    As the previous and original owner of this bass let me state that it's a truly work of art. I'd never sold it if financial reasons hadn't forced me to.
    Also buy with confidence as Davide is truly a nice guy to deal with.

    A highlight of Namm 2013 is an exact replica of Victor Wootens original Monarch that was built in 1983. This bass is made from the same batch of wood as Vics! Victor even blessed this bass at the Namm show and below a pic to prove it. There might even be a little funk butter left on the strings from Vic.

    Specs:
    • Birth Month: December
    • Birth Year: 2012
    • Model: Victor Wooten Monarch Classic - Limited Edition
    • Top Wood: Curly Maple (Solid)
    • Body Wood: Mahogany/ Maple (Maple Tone Block)
    • Fingerboard Wood: Indian Rosewood (Original Shop Stash)
    • Neck Wood: 5-pc. Maple with Walnut Stringers
    • Neck Joint: Dovetail
    • Scale Length: 34"
    • Strings: 4 (19.0mm spacing)
    • Frets 24 (Large)
    • FB Inlay: Mother-of-Pearl Dots w.Tulips on 12th & 24th,
    • Original Style Wooden Butterfly on Headstock
    • Pickups: EMG P/J
    • Preamp: Original Fodera / HAZ Circuit
    • Control Layout: Classic Monarch Layout

    The decision to build a Limited Edition of six EXACT replicas of Victor Wooten's original Monarch (Fodera #37) was the culmination of several distinct events. First, as we organized the shop over the past three years we discovered that we had enough Mahogany, Maple, and Indian Rosewood to build six Monarchs from exactly the same stash of woods used to build #37. Second, we still had eight original Fodera / HAZ Preamps (6 for this Limited Edition and two "just in case"). Third, although we no longer had any New Old Stock (NOS) Schaller Tuning Machines or Bridges, these parts were still made by Schaller in almost exactly the same way as they were in back in 1983 (the only notable difference is that they say "Made in Germany" rather than "Made in W. Germany")! Oh yeah, and Joey even had a box of Aluminum knobs from 1983 with enough to provide original, NOS Volume-Volume-Tone knobs.

    With all this in mind, and given our friendship and association with Victor, we set about adding six VW Monarch Limited Editions to our build schedule to be delivered in 2013 -- our 30th Anniversary year. From the original shop stash of early 1980's woods, to the original, hand-carved body shape, original wooden butterfly logo, original preamp, 3-piece body (on a Dovetail instrument) and hand rubbed Watco oil finish, EVERYTHING about this Limited Edition is as faithful to the original as humanly possible -- something that we will never again be able to recreate.

    Hi, for sale a stunning Carl Thompson bass 4 strings and 36"scale.
    Carl Thompson no more accept orders, so this is a great opportunity
    to buy one with lot of frills.

    It comes with original gig bag and a set of Pyramid strings for free.

    Condition :Mint
    Body core: Mahogany
    Body front top: Gaboon Ebony center with Cocobolo wings
    Body rear top (from center to both sides): Fish-eye Oakwood, Cocobolo, Canarywood (stripe), Gaboon Ebony. The diamond is Gaboon Ebony.
    Pickup cover: Lacewood with inlayed Gaboon Ebony diamond.
    Front routed control cavity with Cocobolo plate.

    Neck: Mahogany
    Fingerboard: Macassar Ebony with outer Gaboon Ebony stripes. Mother-of-pearl side dots.

    Headstock: Mahogany with Cocobolo front plate and Fish-eye Oakwood rear plate. That one is the same wood as the one used for the center stripe of the rear top but cutted from a different section. It looks totally different.

    The name plate on the headstock is purple dyed wood

    The electronics are very simple: one single Kent Armstrong humbucker pickup, passive tone control and a three position toggle switch: center is the operational mode; left is bypass, it totally silences the bass (clever intuition); right takes away some high end. This last position in conjunction with the tone control offers a wide range of nuances within the single sound available from the pickup.

    For those that are really interested I'll give them my nickname on ebay and/or Talkbass to check my feedback.

    There's not much in the BFS section that piques my interest these days, but this is very attractive.

    I can't imagine why you would want to part without it after such a short period, but I'm sure you have your reasons.

    Just out of curiosity, how much does it weigh? (in pounds and ounces so I can understand it ;-)
