It has a lined rosewood fretless fingerboard on a three-piece maple neck. The bass has a Mike Pope three band preamp with a passive tone control. The Bass has a preamp bypass switch to run the Bass passive as well. Fodera bridge, custom Duncan pickups, ramp and Hipshot tuners. It will come in a Fodera case with the Truss Rod Wrench and the Bridge Tool. The case has a hole in it from the upper horn pushing against it. I purchased from a fellow TB user 4 years ago making the leap to 5 strings and fretless at the same time and it has been a great bass. Spectacular tone and very low action. This bass has seen very little use in the last year as I have migrated back to 4 string fretted almost exclusively. The bass has dings. Mostly on the lower part of body near tone controls and headstock.

    Sweet bass. Do you have any sound clips or recordings of it? I'm looking for a pretty raw and edgy sounding fretless, ala the Jaco tone. Probably wouldnt even use the neck pickup much. Wondering if this bass can cop that singing upper register tone and growly punch with the alder body etc....

    I think this is the lowest price I’ve ever seen for a Fodera. Shouldn’t last long!

    I do not believe the ramp is removable.

    I don’t have a scale at home but will try to get the weight.
