FS/FT: Fodera NYC Empire Geddy Lee New!

honest abe · #1 12-29-2009, 12:51 AM

This is a 2009 Fodera NYC in a Geddy Lee outfit with the updated Mike Pope 2 band pre with vintage tone control and custom Duncan single coils. It is in new condition. I will also include an extra clear pickguard for a stealthier look. It also comes with the original tear drop Fodera hardshell case in new condition. It just sounds and plays awesome. It definitely sounds more vintage than modern but the Pope pre makes this thing amazingly versatile. It compares very favourably to my Alleva Coppolo 4 string jazz. This is probably the best 34" scale neck I've ever played. It has 19mm string spacing. I'm asking $~~2790~~, ~~2650~~ now $2550 for a straight sale. These are the trades I may be interested in + or - cash to make the value even:

Dingwall Super J
JJ Sadowsky NYC or Metro
Fender Custom Shop or 2008 American Stnd Jazz,
Reggie Hamilton Custom Shop
LowEnd LEJ
Nordy JJ or PJ
4 string: Mike Lull J, John Suhr J, Rickenbacker 4003, Lakland Decade,
Other high end J or PJ

honest abe · #7 12-31-2009, 04:00 PM

Sorry. No ugly basses, here. LOL!

I don't think another individual has raised my blood pressure as much as you have in years!

You have definitely given me some GAS my friend!

Bump for a great guy with an awesome collection! (of no ugly basses)

Thanks for the kind words Jorge (trujo777). He also got to play on the natural color Fodera NYC I had for little while and can attest to the fine quality, playability, and sound of these instruments.

Still here, although I think I'm leaning toward keeping this beauty.
