Never thought I'd do this, but an unexpected medical expense has demanded it...possibly. Wife and I have all options on the table. If another one comes through, I reserve the right to pull this down.
I'm looking for a partial trade for my prized Fodera Monarch 5 with a Holly top. This instrument is special. It just is. The feel is incredible, the tone is remarkably versatile, and it has looks that kill. Body has a few small dings, but the top is flawless. The FB has been oiled every three months. The specs:
Around 9 lbs.
2014 birth year
Alder Body.
Holly Top.
Custom Holly/Ebony Ying-Yang volume knob (I have the original)
Nordstrand Big Splits (the original Duncan DCs have been sold - The top switch, previously the coil tap is now non-functioning. Could be set as a low frequency shift or kill switch by a pro tech, though)
34" scale.
17.5mm spacing at the bridge.
MOP blocks.
RW FB
Pope Pre, 3 band.
Bolt-on.
Value around $8000
This deal will have to net me between $3000-$5000. The only, and I repeat only basses I'll consider are 5 string J-Basses from the following builders:
Alleva Coppolo (LM preferred, ash and maple, but I'll look at LGs as well)
Sadowsky (again, Ash and maple preferred, NO METROS)
Nordy (Ready for a shocker? Ash and maple preferred)
MTD USA Saratoga
All other trade offers will be politely ignored. PM with offers.
