Some people dream of buying or so.. this guy came back to me.. the car repair costs were not as high as he feared so he wanted to buy the bass after all... if I could give him another discount.. because he damaged his car... some people.. omg.... well... as you can see the bass is still with me.. 😉

Sorry?

This Fodera built in January 2016 is really a work of art and in perfect condition with hardly signs of playing wear. Specifications. Neck through | 35 inch scale | 24 frets | mop inlays | semi hollow ash body | holly topwood | solid top | 3 pc hard rock maple neck | alder tone bock | Amazon rosewood fingerboard | extended low B | Titanium locking bridge (!) | +/- 19mm spacing | Pope customs 3 band amp with dipswitches/variable frequencies | Fodera Duncan dual coil pickups | wooden pickup covers and ramp | OHSC The bass is priced to sell, however I am open for trading offers + cash. (Fender P or J '60s, Stenback, Sadowsky NYC, Ken Smith, ...) Shipping well packed anywhere at costs. Do consider paying duties & taxes when outside EU.

The Sassefras MTD was sold and to be picked up today but this morning the buyer informed me he damaged his car last night and needs the money for repair. It's a miracle how cars break down or crash just when a bass is sold... so.. whenever you decide to buy: drive extra carefully! 😉

I don't know how to fix it... but the bass is sold most probably... a picture says more than words!

Weird, Okay now?

Congrats!

Lovely bass. Those Elites are great anyway!

What is the string spacing?

Considering selling both my lovely Alleva's. I am lucky to have owned and still own many great basses so the slightest and most of all personal preferences make a difference: I concluded I like a flatter radius better. Olympic white (nitro) Alleva Coppolo LG5 Classic Supreme Limited Edition built in 2010 for the 2011 Namm Show, alder body, one piece maple neck, exotic rosewood board (quite likely Jimmy-wood) with dots and bindings, matching headstock, 21 frets, 34", 60's spaced homegrown AC Pickups and pre amp, 10" radius, +/-19mm spacing AC vintage bridge, Hipshot ultra light tuners, 4,6 kgs. Some signs of playing wear and some dents at the bottomside of the body. Has a thin shim in the pocket: can do without but I like it better this way. Plays great with low action and mighty fat/low mid focused sound with more brightness than one may expect from 'normal' rosewood: 'rich overtones' as one may call it. This is quite as vibrant as a great Fender early '60s 5 string Jazz Bass would be, and then some. Trades considered with Alleva Coppolo 5 strings with 12" radius at least, Stenback 4 or 5, Sadowsky 5 string Jazz Bass maple board early unchambered series (90's produced), Ken Smith 6 string (19mm spacing), early sixties Fender Jazz Bass or Precision bass, Steinberger XL5 wide bridge, Fodera 5/6 string maple board/19mm.

I’m quite confident there are 99 luftballons in the case.

Great seller & bass: grab it while you can!

Yes, surprises me too. But the seller isn't reacting as it seems.. this doesn't help either... or it is sold already...

Steinberger XL2A from 1987. Playing wear but technically fully functional and complete with 'flipper' and battery compartment cover. No case. Plays like a dream sounds like a.. Steinberger, which is much closer to a Jazz Bass, Precision Bass and Music Man Stringray than you might think. Upgraded with EMG HBSC pickups and Haz Labs 2 band EQ (a €450 upgrade). Original pickups and pre amp work flawlessly too: make your choice or we make a deal with both! This is the real 'graphite composite' deal. Substantially different than the later 'Hohner B2's' and 'Spirits' (with no doubt much much much better: these original Steinbergers are fantastic.) Shipping well packed anywhere at costs.

Ah… that was supposed to be Michael Manson!! My bad!!!

Absolutely. One of the best. Guys like Sharay Reed and Michael Manring can't be wrong...

Perfect 1996 Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe completely original with John Suhr pickups and pre amp, hard shell case and case candy. This is the bass that Sharay Reed and Michael Manson (a.o. George Duke) made furore with. No isues: everything works 100%. Very little fret or playing wear Scale 34" String spacing +/- 18mm (adjustable) Weight 4250gram (kitchen scale) Bodywood Ash Fretboardwood Morado (I think)

..it's a long weight for sure! 😉

It is a satin finish so I think it is a satin series
