Federico is an amazing player... Andrea Balasso, another fantastic Laurus player, is worth checkin' out: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73c2iUkdm8E"]https://www.youtube....h?v=73c2iUkdm8E[/url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErcSNO9BZfM

I forgot to mention that £ 2200 include shipment to Europe with FedEx providing tracking number. The bass also comes with all the tools and the original form fitted Laurus semi rigid gig bag which provides great protection and easy carrying.

Unfortunate circumstances force me to sell this italian handmade beauty. Laurus Quasar T900 XRH five strings Mahogany body with two tonal chambers Quilted maple top 5 piece neck/purpleheart neck through body Phenolic fingerboard Nordstrand Dual Coil pickups wired for parallel/series operation w/3 band Noll preamp Bass has a mahogany handfitted ramp and is setup with an amazing 1.25 mm action at 12 fret. It's fast and very full, warm and punchy sounding. It's virtually new. Not a scratch on it. Since it's building (one year) it's been the in-house Laurus bass to let customers checkin' out Mr. Cazzola wonderful creations. Always played there under the eyes of its creator. Here it is:

Ah, and that's not me... he's Carl. ;-)

Yes it could go low to 17 and up to 18. Janek bridge is 16.5 but it's an Hipshot.

No, it's adjustable but not to that point... I'd say you cound range between 17 and 18 mm. However, it's a very comfortable string spacing. [quote name='viss1700' timestamp='1433095187' post='2787803'] Is it possible to adjust the string spacing at the bridge to 19 mm? Thx [/quote]

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1432903009' post='2786065'] I really really shouldn't be in here looking at this.... [/quote] ... but, since you are here, have a look at the beautiful chocolatey striped pau ferro fingerboard, which - as for Fodera suggestion - have been regulary treated with mineral oil every 6 months. Amazing wood grain..

Thanks Mark! Hope you're diggin' the Roscoe ;-)

Up for sale is my Fodera Matt Garrison Standard It’s #7 and I’m the original owner Just in case you’re not familiar with the bass, please, don’t let the word “standard” fool you as this is in fact an Elite (neck-through) model: think at it as a Custom with locked-in specs. The main difference between this and the other members of the Fodera Standards family are: three piece maple neck (as opposed to one piece) angled headstock custom shop Pope preamp (as opposed to standard preamp) Rest of the specs are: 33" scale 5 strings (E-C), 17.5mm bridge spacing 26 small frets box-elder burl top, walnut body with alder tone block (neck through) three piece maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard Fodera/Duncans Dual coil pickups, Pope custom shop 3-band preamp Drop D-tuner Weight 9.8 lbs As a couple of small dings in the lower part of the body but nothing major. Comes with the original Fodera hardshell case, papers, tools and even in the same cardbox it came with. Price is 5200 GBP (7300 EUR) and bass is FOR SALE ONLY. Please NO TRADE OFFERS as the only reason I'm sellin this is to finance a 6 strings Fodera. Shipping via FedEx is included to many European destinations (Yes.. UK is one of them) but buyer pays for insurance if he wants to include it. Only payment method is wire transfer. No Paypal. Bass will ship the same day money will show into my account and I'll provide tracking number. Buy with confidence: I just have one feedback on this forum but many on talkbass and they all speak for me. I can privately provide other references to the buyer. Now the eye candy:

Work for me too but not for everybody! ;-)

Agreed. Like anything else they're not for everyone and going for a standard is the safe bet if you've never experienced Fodera before. I think that the Fodera guys have gone wrong on the standard only on one thing. The name. IMO they should have simply call the standards with the model name and the customs with model name + custom. i.e. "Fodera Emperor 5" (for the current E5S model) and "Fodera Emperor Custom 5" for the same model tailored to customer's specs. People often assume they're not to the level of their custom line but they're wrong. Take the Matt Garrison Standard as an example: it's just a custom you didn't choose the woods. Only difference with a Matt Garrison Custom is the bridge (made by hipshot on the standard and by HazLab on the custom) and that's pretty a non significant difference. The other standard models, aside from the bridge, have two difference with the custom: the preamp and the one piece neck with flat headstock. Again, non significant differences in my book: the prized Anthony Jackson Presentation model has no preamp at all, and the Mike Pope Viceroy have a one piece bolt-on neck with the flat headstock. Ask both guys if they care... I'm glad I went with a MGS over a custom Imperial as I saved lots of money without choosing an expensive top (and the box-elder burl top happened to be a really nice one). I'm now thinking about moving it because I suspect a double cut model will suit me best, but If I'll ever make the move then I'll undoubtely go for an Emperor Standard.

Saw your bass in another thread, Si... Stunning piece of gear you have there, bro!

Box-elder burl tops on Matt Garrison Standards are quite stunning by real but difficult to capture on pics. Here's my attempt at it...
