SPECTACULAR 2006 Fodera Imperial 6 Elite
Some basses are gorgeous.
Some basses are amazing.
This bass is BOTH.
Jump into your time machine and journey back 20 years.
This positively stunning 2006 Imperial Elite 6-string closet queen could almost pass for brand new.
The ONLY clue that it's not a brand new bass is a tiny bit of finish wear on the front edge of some of the bridge saddles. Aside from that, not a mark or imperfection to be found anywhere.
The bass was built in an era when Fodera was doing some of their very best, most amazing work.
The woods they chose for this bass are very special. The combination was designed in consultation with Fodera artist George Traviani, and no expense was spared in making this bass as gorgeous and exquisite as it could possibly be.
Most importantly, it is effortless and super comfortable to play, suitable for all styles and genres. It sounds fantastic. The B string is powerful and commanding, and it sings in the upper register.
