Single Coils - 21 frets - 70s positions - 19,5 mm string spacing at the bridge, ... this bass is designed to transfer several good elements of an early 70s Jazz Bass into a modern Single Cut / neckthrough concept. The result is a killer slap tone combined with the elaborated fingerstyle sound culture of a single cut neckthrough - full of sustain and deepness. This bass has one of the best balanced B strings of all Foderas I ever played.
The Buckeye Burl Top is breathtaking - the pictures don't justice. The action could be set as low as you want without any buzz.
These pics are from the shop, where this bass has been originally sold. The others on the webalbum are from April 2010 ! I can take additional pics on demand ... .
Bass is located in Duesseldorf / Germany. Will ship worldwide after all funds have been cleared.
