    Congrats mate. I've had 4 of them over the course of 22 years... sold them each time because, despite loving the way they look, I had the same right hand playing problems. Mental that I had 4 of them! Nice shed too.

    Good condition with velcro on underside. Comes boxed with manual and power supply. £190 including UK delivery.

    Fodera Flame Maple Emperor 6 Bolt-On No trade offers at all on this please This bass features a Walnut body, Ash tone block, and Ebony fingerboard, giving it a tone that is warm, yet punchy and articulate, with a deep low end and clear, bell-like highs. 33” scale length and 17.5 string spacing make this bass very comfortable to play for hours on end. This instrument also features a Flame Maple top with wonderfully tight flame, as well as an Ebony ramp to match the fingerboard. I have the trussrod cover - I just prefer to leave it off the bass. https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-IV/Newborn-949/ This bass is located in Bournemouth, Dorset. I will ship at buyers cost/risk. According to my bathroom scales, the weight is 10.8lbs. Body Woods Emperor Walnut Body No Tone Block Flame Maple Top (Solid) Neck Woods Ebony Fingerboard 3-pc.

    I agree. And the black pickguard looks great on it too.
  5. thebassist
    That is stunning. Congratulations. Beautiful instrument.

    ...I'll give you Jim's email at Fodera. He has been great throughout... very, very, very good salesman too

    Cheers Ped. So excited about playing this bass!
  9. thebassist
    Thanks a lot man - I'm quite conservative and wanted something understated. As ridiculous as that sounds given it's a Fodera!
  10. thebassist
    Haha - I believe the weight is just shy of 9.5lbs because I had it chambered.

    Thanks a lot. I’ve got to wait until December to pick it up but it’ll make a nice Christmas present I guess. Brazilian Hickory is pretty hard - I googled it when ordering the instrument and it said it was a dense wood.

    Here is my Fodera Brazilian Hickory Emperor 6 Elite. I know and acknowledge that they're not for everyone but I'm so excited about collecting this instrument. https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-V/Newborn-1810/

    I had an AMAZING 2013 US Standard Fender Jazz which to me was every bit as good as the Foderas, Overwaters, ACGs, Modulus basses, etc. I've owned. I only sold it because I transitioned 100% to a 6er. It really was a case of playing a few (around 20 I'd estimate) until I found 'the one'.

    I deinfitely get it’s not everyone’s thing. This is a short clip a guy recorded on his iPhone at a show we did in June. It’s really quite hard for us to explain what we do live to be honest. http://listen.minuspilots.com/

    Here we are mate - it's definitely not to everyone's tastes! https://minuspilots.bandcamp.com/album/seeking-the-spheres

    I was in the same boat but I'm now 11 months in with a brilliant and super reliable drummer. We're a bass and drums duo playing original material touching the realms of modern classical/ambient/post-rock - ideally there would be three of us but quite frankly, I don't think we will bother with another member now because it's just too easy being the two of us. We turn up when we say, let each other know in good time if something does come up, etc. No nonsense at all. We're playing dates in France, Netherlands and Belgium in October and have a show in New York 5 December. It's been a great experience.
  17. thebassist
    It's mental that this hasn't sold. £435 is crazy cheap!
  18. thebassist
    What is your budget and would you consider second hand?
  19. thebassist
    A 1996 Mexican sunburst Fender Jazz I used for about two years before buying an American sunburst Fender Jazz.
  20. thebassist
    I currently own just a Fodera Emperor 6 but I am going to buy 2 basses soon - 1 US Fender Jazz and 1 US Fender Precision.
  21. thebassist
    Beautiful bass... and £6249 cheaper than the Emperor II Elite 5 that Bass Direct have for sale currently.
  22. thebassist
    Wow. That is seriously incredible! PMd.
  23. thebassist
    Nice! What you getting?
  24. thebassist
    Yes I know why the string tree is there - It's just that I personally don't like them that's all.
  25. thebassist
    Can't you return it for a refund?
