Brams77 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I would like to sell my beloved Black NYC 2006 deluxe 35' bass. It's got a REAL Pope preamp 2 band (today they have cheaper pre-amp installed) hand soldered by mr Pope himself. It has a brass nut, transparant pickuard and flushmount straplocks. It also has a white pickuard signed by Gerald Veaseley. It got played by Anthony Wellington who loved it, great slap and finger tone, and yes it's just fodera all the way so tip top, it's not really a jazz bass kind of instrument, it has that fodera sound so its bigger then a jazz prolly the 35 inch and the tilted headstock... I dont know. The body is alder the fb is rosewood and the neck is 3 pcs maple like my Emperor has. Pickups are Duncans made for Fodera, I mean what can I say, hopefully someone is willing to snatch this one up. I live in Holland so I'm willing to ship it. Not keen on trades, but my interests could be Sadowsky MTD wood & tronics. Price drop 2300 euro Lets see what happens. Best regards Bram [attachment=49733:bass1.jpg] [attachment=49735:bass2.jpg] [attachment=49736:bass3.jpg] [attachment=49737:bass4.jpg] [attachment=49738:bass5.jpg] Edited June 25, 2010 by Brams77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Looks really nice - I've been really researching these recently and read some extremely good reviews of them from actual owners (as opposed to people who've spent 10 minutes playing in a busy shop). Nice to have the old Pope pre-amp in it as well. Some reviews suggested there was a slight issue when they stopped using these but I think the very latest ones have very good pre amps in them as well now Unfortuantely I'm a 4 string guy these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you plays a whole lot easier then B to G just a hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the great bump! Love the arretes track by the way, sounds allmost identical to mine. Ill try to put a clip up today or tomorrow.
