I am putting up my Fodera Imperial 5 for sale. This bass originally belonged to Damian Coccio and is as seen on his Youtube Channel. Some specs on the bass:
-5 String
-33" scale
-26 frets (small)
-17.5mm spacing
-Currently tuned B-G, can be tuned E-C.
-Walnut body w/ ash tone block.
-5A flame koa top.
-3 piece hard rock maple neck
-Ebony fingerboard w/ abalone dot inlays.
-Fodera pope 3 band in Garrison layout
-Duncan dual coils in ebony covers (not the usual plastic)
-Matching ebony ramp
-Chambered body - you can see some of the routing when you remove the control cavity cover.
-Includes brand new Fodera HSC.
-Completed in 2013 when Vinnie was actually doing more of the work on these basses (photo included of Vinnie working on this very bass).
I've owned probably a dozen Foderas and this probably the most beautiful one I've ever seen. The koa and ebony look amazing together, and it is just a timeless combo. Not even sure Fodera has koa like this anymore. Bass plays great, sounds great, looks ridiculous. The B string on this 33" is also great. I have owned 35" scale Foderas in the past that did not have B strings this good. Not sure what the difference is, or why that is the case on these sometimes, but this one has it. It is in basically still new condition.

I am asking 9000 shipped to the continental U.S. No trades. It will ship via FedEx Ground, will be fully insured, and will be well packed. Any questions please feel free to PM. Again, no trades, cash only.
