It's with a heavy heart that I advertise this bass. I acquired this earlier in the year from another member on this forum. It's everything I had hoped it would be, however, with another baby on the way and the need for a car with a bigger boot, I can't currently justify having an instrument of this value in my collection.

It plays fantastically with a low action - bell-like clarity across the scale of the instrument and sustain for days. Fantastic balance also, not a hint of neck dive. 

The condition is good, there are signs of wear but nothing significant. It comes with the original Fodera case and toolkit. Certificates of Authenticity were not issued during this era however if you wish to email the serial number to Fodera, it matches up with the records they have on their database. 

The specs:

Fodera Imperial Elite 5 string made in 2001

34" scale

Buckeye Burl top, Mahogany body, Maple tone block, 3 piece maple through neck, ebony board, ebony ramp, ebony truss rod cover.

Pope preamp - a couple of months ago this was sent to Mike Pope for some refurbishment - volume and tone pot replaced along with new battery terminals. The switches are for active / passive, single / dual coil and a kill-switch.

Weight - 4.75kg

I am happy to ship this anywhere but it would need to be insured - I have plenty of sturdy packaging. Collection from Cardiff would be ideal.

I have lots of feedback here on Basschat: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/192340-feedback-for-woolf/?tab=comments#comment-4279789

Any questions - please don't hesitate to get in touch. I would prefer a sale on this one but would consider part-trades with cash in my direction.

Surely just sell the first baby to make room for the second baby and keep the bass? Seems the best solution! :)

I'll suggest this to my wife and let you know the outcome

Yes, please. It will be interesting to know what was the best remedy to heal the swollen eye after the punch. You know, in case I propose something similar to my girlfriend in the future.

In a total offtopic comment: what an amazing bass, dude.
