Fodera Emperor Elite 5 Ebony Top - SOLD £4700

[mrbassman_de]

Selling my just acquired [b][color=#FF0000]Fodera Emperor Elite 5 Ebony Top[/color][/b]. Great bass, but I have an almost identical Fodera with Single Coils - and I prefer that one.

Specs:

Ebony Top
Mahogany Body wings, Alder Tone Block
5-pc Maple Neck (Upcharge)
Ebony Board, 24 frets, Mother of Pearl Blocks (Upcharge)
34 scale
String Spacing at bridge: 18,5 - 19,5 mm (now ca. 19 mm)
Black Hardware
Seymour Duncan Dual Coils
Ebony Ramp, removable
Pope preamp, 3-Bd.-EQ
Weight: 4,9 kg
Birth Year: ca. 1999

This bass would have a retail price of about 12k USD, street price probably 10% less, VAT, customs and shipping on top.

Very good condition, very few minor marks here and there but nothing to be exposable in pics.

This Fodera has a thunderous B string, deep and clear. Action is super low. The bass balances well on the strap. The truss rod works perfect, all screws, frets etc. are in great working condition. This is a true workhorse for the professional and a joy to play for all low end enthusiasts !

SOLD

Hi Rainer, I recognize the bass as the bass from Edwin van Huik isn't it?
Great bass, and a good price; succes with selling

Grtz from The Netherlands,

Hi Hans and all others,

Thanks a lot for your kind comments and Yes, that's true - it was formerly owned and played by Edwin. It was just sold to another fellow BC'er who forwarded it to me now.

Very good bass indeed. Unfortunately I can't keep them all.

There are some interesting trades in the works but nothing final yet.
