Details

This is a beautiful Fodera Imperial 6 with chestnut top from the 90's. This bass plays and sounds amazing with huge/fat finger tone and killer slap tone as well.

Please note: The bridge pickup had to be sent back to Seymour Duncan to be repair and the bass currently has
another Duncan dual coil pickup from an Anthony Jackson bass that was installed by Fodera. This pickup only has 2 pole pieces for the "C" string instead of 4. However, the pickup functions the same and the bass plays and sounds as it should. The wood pickup cover was not modify for the 2 pole pieces since I wanted to get the original pickup repair. Once I get the pickup back, I will send it to the new owner.

Specs:
Alder body with Chestnut center block
Chestnut top
Dual Coil Pickups
Fodera Preamp (2010 model with Mid Freq Switch)
bass Mute
34" scale Length
19mm String Spacing
Comes with Fodera Gig Bag (no hard case)


I am not looking for trade but may entertain a high end 5 string jazz bass or an older
Ken Smith BT or CR 5 string model Plus Cash.......

Please Note there is a small crack from the "E" tuning peg to the Low "B".
Had it check by my Guitar tech. He said most definitely has been there for years, touched it up with glue and said to leave it alone as it isn't going anywhere.

Beautiful! Don't like the look of that bass mute though. Can the string spacing be adjusted to 17mm? I thought that was possible on some Fodera bridges.


The bass mute was already installed years ago when I got it so I left it alone. - great feature to have though! Don't know if 17mm is possible but the bridge can definitely be adjusted.
