I aquired this bass from a fellow TBer. I received the bass, played last night and thought well the reason I wanted to trade my Fodera 5 was to go back to 6. So I thought I would post another ad to see where it goes with this one. The bass is a absolute dream to play. It plays with mucho, mucho ease. The bass is a player's bass I had a Fodera that was a show piece, well with this one you get the best of both worlds. if CrashClint don't mind I was over his house and he and I was counting all of the basses we have accumulated over the years the count was about 20-30 plus, we have has from exibition grade tops, to exotics, to solid and this one she actually liked. That say a great deal to me coming from a wife in all respect (for those of you that have significant others you understand) so I guess you can say it is sleek and sexy!! I currently have it strung with DR Black Beauties string of choice, those actually change the appearence and they tone down the high output of the EMG's (for you jazz players) without losing any quality. If you like Victor's tone you would love this bass!! I am very picky about my basses so I try to give any flaws I notice. The only flaw is a tiny, tiny, hair-like scratch in the finish below the p-pup it is 100% un-noticeable if the sunlight don't hit it directly from any distance. The rest of the bass mint with do dings, bumps of any sort. For those that saw my 5 this one is very compatible cosmetically.

As for outright sell I am looking to get between $4.5-$5k neg. These basses new go for anywhere between $7-$8K with wait time. You can get this bass in mint, mint condition for half the price. I will entertain trades w/cash my way providing the value of your bass. As for trades Roscoes will most certainly be top priority. I am open to other basses for I always like to try new things. i am a fair guy and would love to be treated the same. I will send pics upon request. I am having trouble posting here? I just traded my Fodera 5. Here is another great Fodera waiting to go to someone's home. Thanks for you interest. God Bless!!
