SOLD - 2006 Fodera Monarch Std 4 String £3250 The Bass Gallery, Camden

[Steve_M]

I've decided to move my Fodera on, as it's just not getting the love these days. It's at The Bass Gallery in Camden, London, as they are commission selling it on my behalf - so can be viewed and played there if you want to.

It was purchased from The Bass Gallery new, by me - I'm the only previous owner.

It's an early Std bolt on model, before they introduced the current 'flat headstock' style standards with a string tree. It's basically a custom Fodera with a slightly smaller headstock, 2 band 18v Pope preamp, bolt on (but with body contouring at the neck pocket). Beautifully understated bass that plays like butter! I wish I could keep it just hanging on the wall but sadly not an option 😞

Subtle Flame maple front
Mahogany body c/w ebony veneer insert
3 piece rock maple bolt on 24 fret neck with tilted headstock and matching ebony veneer. MoP Fodera butterfly inlay.
Rosewood Fingerboard with MoP inlays
Brass nut
Gold hardware
EMG Active P/J Pups
Pope 18v 2 band preamp - Vol with pull passive/Blend/Bass cut-boost/Treble cut-boost
Ernie Ball inset straplocks
Fodera teardrop standard hard case

It's in very nice condition, but does have one small 'scuff' on the inside of the lower horn and some very small marks on the top of the headstock.

Looking for £3,250

Thanks for reading - feel free to PM me with any questions. For price negotiations, trade in talk, etc - please contact the guys at The Gallery.

I have the same, albeit chrome hardware, and can confirm that they are indeed wonderful instruments. These early standards are really special. Have a free bump.
