Fodera Emperor Custom Bolt-On 5-string, custom ordered in 2019. This is a highly playable, versatile Emperor with a custom neck carve modeled around the dimensions of my 1964 Fender Jazz Bass.
NO TRADE OFFERS PLEASE
The bass is in fair cosmetic condition, with a couple of finish cracks around the knobs, on the head stock and some nicks/marks from use. I have added pictures of the control cavity and copper foil to show there are no signs of visible cracking beyond the finish around the knobs. These are cosmetic and can be repaired by Fodera if desired. Please see the photos carefully for condition details. The frets are in excellent condition, and mechanically the instrument is excellent. It plays very evenly across the neck with comfortable low action.
Specifications
Most importantly, the bass sounds great and plays great. The neck is very even, the action is low, and the frets are in excellent shape.
Case Options
The bass can ship in either:
Please examine all photos closely for the cosmetic condition. I’m happy to provide additional detailed photos or measurements for a serious buyer.
A great opportunity to get a genuinely custom-spec Emperor Bolt-On at a price that reflects the cosmetic wear rather than its playability or performance.
Shipping will be calculated based on location and final weight of case choices.
