SOLD: 2012 Fodera Flame Koa Monarch Deluxe 5-String
For sale is my 2012 Fodera Monarch Deluxe 5-String. I purchased this bass used here on TB in January 2014. Here's the thread with great pictures:

This is an immaculate instrument in near perfect condition. The bass has a focused and very clear and even tone-the Mahogany body makes for tight lows and punchy mids. The Pau Ferro finger board adds some real snap and sparkle to both finger style playing and slapping. I've rarely played this bass since I picked it up-too many basses right now forces a sale. This is truly a stunning instrument-will ship in a Fodera deluxe hardshell case.

Description from Fodera Newborn Page:
A simply gorgeous Monarch 5 Deluxe that uses some of our old growth, dark Pau Ferro for its fingerboard rather than the "traditional" pairing of a Mahogany body with an Indian Rosewood Fingerboard. Our Pau Ferro is heavier and denser than Indian Rosewood and the result is a slight brightening of the overall tone spectrum...
$7495 shipped and insured CONUS. Paypal ok-other forms of payment considered. No trades please. PM me with any questions and thanks for looking!
Also selling an MTD 635-24; if one bass sells then I'll likely keep the other.
