mrbassman_de Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) [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.

wombatboter Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 This is one of the most beautiful basses I've ever seen...would love to have one of these. Still really weird that they didn't include side dots but it was probably the former owner's choice.. Good luck with the sale of this fabulous instrument..

mrbassman_de Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
