    Fodera Imperial 5 Chestnut

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    I made a closer inspection on the bass and found a couple of small dings all over the body. So it lost the showroom condition some players might desire on those boutique basses. Besides this it is a wonderful playing and sounding Fodera with a still breathtaking top !

    Due to the dings I reduced the price dramatically.

    [quote name='bassaussie' post='1205673' date='Apr 20 2011, 01:01 PM']I've seen this before, and I think it's to do with being a black headstock. Fender had their standard transfers which they used, and they had black text, and obviously that wouldn't show up on the black background. Knowing what Fender were like in those days, I'd assume they couldn't see the point of going to the extra expense of creating alternative transfers for a few custom colour instruments.[/quote]

    I had the same concerns when I purchased this bass. Since then I've seen only a few black MHS but they all featured the shortened decal. All other custom colour MHS had the full decal.

    One trustful reference might be the book "The Fender Bass" from Black & Molinaro - they show on page 56 a copy of the Jazz bass Ad in the 1970 Fender catalog. It is a Black JB with black MHS where you can see the same transfer layout like on my 63JB.
