Fodera Imperial Elite 5-string bass with 34” scale and 19mm string spacing at the bridge. Gorgeous two-tone 5A maple burl top in immaculate condition with a recent set-up and killer B-string. I took this bass in trade about a year ago and, unfortunately, found that the 19mm string spacing is just too much for my hands to comfortably navigate over five strings. (I was impressed enough, however, to order a custom Emperor Elite 5 build with 18mm string spacing - hence this sale.)
Specs:
34” scale 5-string Imperial Elite (strung low B to G)
3-piece Maple neck w/ Ebony fingerboard and Abalone face dots
AAAAA Maple Burl top w/ matching headstock
Matching wood pickup covers
Abalone/MOP butterfly headstock inlay
Alder body wings w/ Ash tone block
Gold hardware w/ 19mm string spacing at bridge
Duncan/Fodera dual-coil pickups
Fodera/Pope 3-band custom preamp w/ mini switches for active/passive, mid-frequency select, and dual-/single-coil operation
Matt Garrison control layout
Weight ~ 10 lbs. 7 oz.

Maple Burl Imperial 5 Elite
Comes with a Fodera “teardrop” case (case exhibits some VERY minor scratches from storage but is fully functional - see photos).
Please review all photos carefully and be sure to ask any questions before committing to purchase as this instrument is being sold “as-is.” All listed dimensions are approximate.
I understand there have been a spate of reported issues recently with apparently-hacked TB accounts putting up fraudulent advertisements and am happy to work with prospective purchasers to provide reasonable proof demonstrating my possession and ownership of the instrument advertised. I’m also amenable to potentially meeting a buyer in the Western/Central/Capital Region of NYS (+/- Buffalo to Albany) and/or the use of a third-party escrow service to handle the money transfer (assuming a 50/50 fee split).
No trade interest.
$8,500 shipped/insured
PAYPAL F&F OKAY. FOR SALE IN THE CONTINENTAL US ONLY.
