FS: Fodera Emperor Elite 5 - 35" Brazilian board - Awesome!

Sign in to disble this ad
Vinny Fodera once told me if I could ever avoid having to sell this bass that I should do so. The guys in the shop love this one to death. If I could afford to keep it I would, but sadly the time has come to part with this beauty. Bass was completed in 2000, is nicely broken in. Sounds, feels and plays fabulous, obviously...

35" scale fretted 5-string.
Medium weight swamp ash body
Quilted Redwood book-matched top
Matching Redwood peghead
3-piece maple neck
Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard (rare – a $1,349 upcharge at todays prices)
Matching Brazilian Rosewood trussrod cover (also rare)
24 frets
Mike Pope/Fodera 3-band preamp
Mid-frequency octave shift switch preamp upgrade
Fodera Custom Shop Single Coils
Macassar Ebony Ramp
Matching Macassar Ebony control cavity cover
Gold hardware

Condition is excellent. Absolutely no flaws in the finish, no discernible dings, all controls working smoothly, minimal fretwear.

Included items:
Fodera hard case - in very clean condition, all catches work etc.
Truss Rod Adjustment tool
Truss Rod removal tool
Fodera preamp instruction sheet.

Asking Price: $6200 - obo. Insured shipping at cost (probably around $120 UPS Ground to the US West Coast from where I am on the East Coast). Pickup in person possible - If shipping I prefer shipping to the Continental US only. More pics and details available on request. Thanks! Mik.

Beautiful bass.

If I bought that my death would be instant, my wife would go to jail for the crime and my kids would be left to play music on the street corner for change.

Glad I thought that through.

Hmmm - perhaps this explains some of my own personal circumstances..

Thanks for the comments!
