I am the original owner of this bass. This is probably the most unique "standard" to have ever left the shop. Please read the entire post to understand this bass thoroughly- and to understand the situation. I can not speak that the guys down at fodera will ever do this again so I'm sure they would appreciate not asking them to.
I acquired this bass when I was apprenticing for Fodera guitars in the summer of 2013, the summer right before I started Violin Making school. The circumstances of the situation allowed this bass to become very unique in the sense that it has options that no other standard would normally be allowed to have. These are that it has matching pickup covers, Pau Ferro Ramp and the custom shop gold hardware.
This is essentially a custom bass with the price of a standard bass. Acquiring such a Fodera with these specs in this price range is unfindable.
This bass is Matt Garrison Standard #41

This bass has never left the house, and has regrettably very very rarely played as I am a full time student. I am studying violin making and repair so this bass has been cared for in the best possible way. It will ship in a Reunion Blues gig bag and will be packaged incredibly carefully.
I am looking to get 7350 for this, and that is an incredible deal considering other foderas in the market and that the replacement value of this bass is north of 9 grand. (I will be attaching an appraisal as soon as I find it) Best mode of contact is through email [email protected] or through messaging me here.
The only thins different between this bass and a custom bass is the serial number. This is one of the best Foderas I have ever played, and I really regret that I have to sell this bass. Whoever buys this will be one incredibly lucky bassist.
