TRADED Fodera 6 for Alleva LG5.
"good things come to those who wait"

I acquired this bass some time ago...it truly is an incredible bass. Feels, looks and sounds AMAZING!

only thing is the style of music i play doesnt really call for this bass..

i am considering either a straight sell, which Fodera recommended i start the price at $6500 AS IS...which is NEAR MINT...only for small imperfections in finish underneath the bass.

i have detailed pics that i can send out. Please let me know if u are interested.

35” Scale
24 Frets
Ebony Dots
Mahogany Body
Buckeye Bur Top
3 Pcs. Maple Neck
Birdseye Maple Fingerboard
Black Hardware
Fodera Circuit
Bartolini Dual Coil w/ wooden cases.
Pope string spacing.
Dated on July, 2001.

as for the trade...im open to offers but im REALLY looking for an Alleva Coppolo 5. (+/-) cash...

i also have a Trans Green 1998 Fender Precision Deluxe bass i want to move..

Thanks for takin a look at this thread...
Eager to see what happens as im new to TB!

You wouldn't be interested by a Smith BT6 would you (8 month old)?

MikeXbass · #4 11-09-2009, 11:52 AM

although i really like SMITHs...im tryin to get away from the 6..

and im a FENDER guy...but i hear AC's are the Holy Grail of Jazz Tone

Thanks for the offer tho!

Heres a full shot pic

Hi
Can you post a picture of the rear, I think it may be a Deluxe rather than Elite.
Thanks

MikeXbass · #6 11-09-2009, 12:09 PM

You are correct. it is a BOLT ON...

my fault...can i fix my title?

yybass · #7 11-09-2009, 12:19 PM

Thanks for your response. I am afraid it is not classed as a Deluxe, Deluxe has a 'Dovetail' join.Check it with Jason at Fodera aka 'Just Thumpin'.
Thanks

Does that have narrower string spacing? It looks like an ABM bridge.

MikeXbass · #9 11-09-2009, 04:36 PM

to be honest im not sure..if you want i can give you the Serial and inquire specifically with Fodera..
i am a 3rd hand owner...(lol)

what i posted earlier was the response i got from them via Email..

Thanks!

Can you measure it? Emailing Fodera would result in the answer coming back in weeks.

MikeXbass · #11 11-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Thanks
Mike

deluxe is dovetail-bolt-on is bolt-on:

If it's "Pope" string spacing, then it's 18mm, like his old Ken Smith...

I know Mike personally. He's a personal friend and a stand up guy. I highly recommend him as an honest seller/trader. That Fodera he has is amazing! Anyone who lands it will be a lucky owner.

String spacing measurement? They've made stuff in 18mm, 17mm, and 16.5mm, and it's hard to tell in the pictures.

Hey A

..driving home now ...will measure ASAP and
post it..

Sincerely,
