--SOLD --

Hi from Geneva, Switzerland,
I've got this bass for sale/trade:

Fodera NYC Empire 5
Alder body (rather light)
Indian Rosewood fretboard
3 piece maple neck
Fodera bridge & hardware
Fodera 2-band Preamp
(Volume/passive Tone, pickup blend, High boost/cut, Low boost/cut)
Fodera single coils (60's position)
Passive mode (pull-push on the volume/tone knob)
Approximate weight: 3,9kg
According to Jason Desalvo, the bass was built circa 2005 - 2008,

Fodera has stopped making the NYC Empire line when they introduced their Standard line. Those basses used woods from the Fodera stock, were assembled in Japan, and shipped back to the US were the Fodera guys would give a few finishing touch and do the final setup. The built and sound quality is very high.
Here's a text from Fodera website introducing the bass at that time: [i]"The concept behind our NYC Empire basses is a more affordable, hand-crafted "stock" instrument built from the same quality woods that we use in our more expensive Fodera custom instruments. To keep costs down we build these in small batches, using the best of a limited palette of fine woods. Most NYC basses will be capped with a flame or quilted maple top. Other woods will offered occasionally as they are available. As with all Fodera instruments, NYC basses are made with loving care from the best aged and select wood, hand fit, finished and setup to play like a dream. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, the NYC basses will perform for you."[/i]

The bass has a few minors dings, but overall in good condition.
Will add a few additional details / newer pics when time allows.

Regarding trades, I'm looking for a fretted 4 strings or a fretless 6 strings.
Brands I fancy: Ken Smith, Marleaux, Roscoe, Modulus, luthier basses...

First post here, if I did anything wrong, please let me know : )
