Details

I don't believe it I do it again, got this bass in early 2012, the bass sounds amazing and it is exact what I wanna hear back to the time I placed my order in late 09', but things changed a bit, I play 34"/ 5 string jazz bass almost exclusively during the wait of the built. I could tell I'm pretty much get used to what a jazz bass sounds to any gigs now, so I decided to part with it and start another Fodera built with more tradition wood combo and options, I wish I can afford to keep it but I don't think I'm worthy to own more than one Fodera at this moment.

If you're into Matt Garrison, Tony Grey and Janek Gwizdala's tone in 6 string package, this is what you're looking for!

Condition:
This bass been played, some player marks on the back, no major wears on the front.

I'm asking $11,000 for this bass. NO TRADE. Non fee related payments only and I will ship worldwide.
Bass with these spec priced at $13000 ish now and a Matt Garrison Standard starts at $8,750

Oh man, this exactly the specs I would get on a second Fodera. I cannot afford two right now though, just like you; my other is a more traditional 5.


I hope people keep in mind that the top is not only beautiful but a probably one of the best tonewoods you could have, too.
