USED FODERA / Imperial 5 [03]

2800005032024 Fodera Imperial 5

The Imperial, one of Fodera's pinnacle models, features a single-cutaway design that exudes an almost artistic beauty.
While multi-string models dominate the market, this new arrival is a 5-string model.

First to catch the eye is the body, likely featuring a vibrant back-eye burl top. The stunning maple through-neck, utilizing two maple pieces as wings, is of such quality it's no exaggeration to call it art. This is the quintessential material for this model.
It features Lane Poor JB5 pickups. You can enjoy a clear, transparent NYC sound that seems to embody the word "high quality." Its compatibility with the original preamp, equipped with an orthodox 3-band EQ, is outstanding, making it seem only natural that it's beloved by countless studio musicians.

The core main components remain untouched, though it lacks strap pins.
However, the neck is currently in good condition. The truss rod is a bit stiff, but about half a turn of adjustment was confirmed. Since the included genuine wrench makes truss rod adjustment difficult, we verified the adjustment using an L-shaped wrench of the same specification.

Fodera, a flagship of high-end basses. While it's a classic material, only a handful have actually held one in their hands.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire one.
