[size=5][color=#ff0000][b]Update : Sold - pending payment etc.[/b][/color][/size] [size=5][color=#ff0000][b]Thanks for looking.[/b][/color][/size] Fodera Imperial 5 Specs: Mahogany Body Full Spalted Maple Top Kingwood Board (rare and soundwise close to Braz Rosewood) 35 scale neck Black Hardware Weight: 4,9 kg Duncan Single Coils in 60s positions Pope preamp (standard version) String spacing 19mm Very good condition. Some minor blemishes on the body. Great 60s Jazz Bass sound with modern options. Comes with original teardrop case, which looks a bit used. Retail price for this bass would be around 10.000 Euro plus 1-2 years wait. Jason from Fodera mentioned somewhere at TB that this bass was originally built as fretless. May be ... I bought it fretted - but I can't see ANY evidence about an after-market fret job. The fret work is perfect and looks exactly like on my other Foderas (which are built as fretted ones). Even the nut looks original and has not been heightened...

Thanks ziggy ! Still available.

Just decided to part with my Celinder Update J 5 [color=#ff0000][size=6]SOLD ![/size][/color] Specs: Body: Ash Finish: Translucent Cobalt Blue Maple Board with MOP block inlays Scale: 35 Weight: 4,7 kg Pickups: Celinder Jazz in 70s positions Preamp: Greengrove CPIII (the original and best Celinder pre !) Original high-end Celinder case in like-new condition (I prefer to use gig bags). Used, but in very good condition, technically perfect. Very low action without buzz. Some wear from playing here and there but nothing to be pictured. Frets have only little wear. Soundwise it is a top '70s Jazz with 5 strings and a thundering slap tone. Chris Celinder is a fan of Marcus Miller and he achieved his fat slap tone like nobody else.

[size=6][sub]This bass is still for sale.[/sub] [b][sub]Price drop: Now asking 3.300 Euro (currently about 2.760 GBP) plus shipping.[/sub][/b][/size]

Carnival bump

[quote name='alanbass1' timestamp='1329568759' post='1544335'] I really like these basses and am interested, but what is the weight of the bass? [/quote] Thanks for the extra bumps The bass weighs 4,6 kg (10.14 lbs) on my digital bathroom scale.

Will try to record an MP3 and post it here this weekend

Possible deal pending for some time - so still available !!

Still available !!

The bass weighs 4,7 kg, which is pretty light for a walnut Imperial - my Koa top Imperial with Walnut body weighs 5,3 kg... I used to own a Walnut Imperial 6er long ago which was 6,5 kg ...

[b]The bass weighs 4,3 kg BSM [/b](bathroom scale method)

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1328514746' post='1528177'] This is one of the most beautiful basses I've ever seen... [/quote] Thanks Geert, And I am sure YOU have seen a lot. This words out of YOUR pen are a big praise for this bass ...

[color=#ff0000][b][size=6]SOLD ![/size][/b][/color] Fodera Imperial 5 fretless. Specs: Walnut Body Full Macassar Ebony Top Macassar Ebony Board (lined with purpleheart stripes) 34 scale neck, 5-pc with purpleheart stringers Black Hardware Weight: 4,6 kg 1 Duncan Dual Coil in wooden cover, neck position Graphtech Piezo saddles per string with CafeWalter Piezo Buffer (Noisefree !), These Piezos are installed after.market by Bassline/Krefeld and easily removable. Pope preamp (standard version) String spacing <17mm Serial: I525xxN No side dot markers ! Condition is like new. Only small wear on the board from roundwounds. Currently strung with Thomastik Flats. The bass is configured for E-C tuning. The bass sounds and rings as a world-class fretless should. The Piezo provides the deep low end and high register click as if this would be an acoustical guitar. The bridge pickup adds the complex midrange to cut in the mix and let the bass ring with a nice mwah. Comes with original teardrop case. Retail price for this bass would be around 12.000 Euro plus 1-2 years wait. Full Ebony tops - especially with even figuring like this - are becoming more and more rare according to the Fodera guys. I've seen less than a handful Fodera Fretless' since years on the used market. Don't miss out this chance if you look for one.

For sale is my F Bass BN5. Specs: Body: Ash Top: Exhibition Grade Crotch Walnut (2.500 Euro Upgrade) Wonderful grained Macassar Ebony Board Scale: 34.5 Built in 2007 The wll known BN5 with a breathtaking top - pics don't justice ! Provides the warm, yet organic tone these bolt-on basses stand for. Frets in nearly unplayed condition. Includes Yamaha case. Some cosmetical issues: The previous owner mounted a third strap pin on the butt, the pin is now unmounted but left a hole in the wood. There have been mounted a ramp between the pickups using bad glue, which left a 2-3 cm wide damage in the finish. Some dings on the upper horn. The neck and frets, tuners and truss rod - everything important for sound and feel is in perfect working condition. Sold. Thanks to all.

Still available for 1.900,- Euro (currently less than 1.600 GBP) plus shipping.
