Fodera Imperial 5

lamarjones · #1 07-16-2009, 09:27 AM

I am offering this bass because some priorities have changed. It is a bass that I would consider keeping as a prized possession, and still may should it not sell, but I had an original goal in mind before I got sidetracked with dealing with a 'dream' bass.

Fodera Imperial 5, I believe from 1996 (signed my the fodera boys on the back of the headstock with '96). Lane poor pickups, haz lab pre, chestnut top. In perfect playing condition. Let me know what I can tell you about it.

Price is 6000 plus shipping, paypal is fine. I am not in a rush to sell it, I just think it misaligns with some of my priorities right now. Priorities change

As an FYI, if I listed it in everyone's least favorite auction site, the BIN would be higher and I would certainly be offering shipping to Japan and Europe, if that makes a difference.

*sigh* If only.....

That's a hell of a bass you got there. I hope it finds a nice new home.

Good luck with the sale. I checked out the second MySpace link below your signature. Great playing, man! Is that your solo page?

Scale length?!?!?!?!?

lamarjones · #8 07-17-2009, 11:13 AM

sorry about that, it is a 35" scale length. There have been some nice trade offers, but I like the bass a lot and the sale is only to take care of some expenses that are a little ways off. Thanks.

Thanks for the nice words on my sites! The top one is the latest group I am in, and the bottom is my stuff in general. I do write a fair bit of tunes, but no solo stuff. I can't be giving people their money back

i am not a good enough bass player to even touch this thing. I hate Singlecuts, I prefer 4s, I prefer Passives and I am a Jazz bass fan. And yet I want it soooooooo bad. good luck on selling it I guess.
