Details

Ok I may have lost my mind so I reserve the right to pull this add at any moment. Ok now that thats out of the way.
I have a MINT like the day it was made Fodera MG5 string in a 33" scale bass.
Specs as follows to the best of my memory.
  • MG 5 String
  • Chestnut top and ramp
  • 33" scale
  • about 10lbs
  • Fodera hard case
  • 19mm String Spacing
  • New DR Sunbeams
I found I really miss my Coppolo KPB5 string so if there is one out there I would consider a trade plus cash.
Not really looking for much else unless maybe a Monarch Elite 5 string or other high end bass 34" scale or less only.
I would sell her outright for SOLD shipped in the lower 48 states. Out of the country sales are fine too as long as you pick up the shipping costs.

This bass used to be mine - lovely looking instrument. The link to my TB sale thread is here:

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/sold-fodera-imperial-mg5-chestnut-top-576916/

Many more images and some information on string spacing etc. that is likely to be of interest to potential purchasers (not least EduardoK). I'll say here, great tone and a beautiful top. I only sold the bass because of board width (far too wide for me). It appears to have gained a ramp since I had it too.

Good luck with the sale - somebody will get a very nice bass (I hope it sticks somewhere this time too - the bass deserves to be somebody's number one player - too bad the ergonomics implied it couldn't be mine).

Lozbass thanks for the added info. What did you mean by "String spacing is around 18-19mm but is adjustable"? What is the smallest width/spacing possible?

Thanks again!

LOL, I bought this from Lozbass. Incredible instrument- I only sold it because I couldn't hang with the 19mm string spacing...but my main instrument is still a Fodera MG5, but with narrow spacing.

Killer bass.

Although the only thing this thread tells me is that both Lozbass and I should have sold it for a lot more money than we did! It's still worth every penny at seller's price.

Where did the ramp come from? I think it's spalted maple rather than chestnut, but I wish it was there when I owned it!
