[used] Fodera / 6strings Bass Chuck Rainey Model 5.510kg [Consignment] [GIB Yokohama]

Fodera is one of the world's most popular high-end bass guitar brands.

Founder Vinny Fodera began his career as a teenager.
After working at prestigious workshops such as Spector and Ken Smith, he founded Fodera Guitars in 1983.

Fodera's instruments are beloved by the world's top bass players, including Victor Wooten, Richard Bona, and Anthony Jackson. (Titles omitted)

This is an extremely rare 6-string bass guitar custom-built by Chuck Rainey.
Rumor has it that only a few exist in the world.

It's difficult to say for sure about the wood, but the top is thought to be Macassar ebony and the back is alder.
It has a very luxurious look.

The neck is maple, and the fingerboard appears to be rosewood.
The body back has a beautiful joint, typical of Fodera.

It is equipped with two humbucking pickups.
The preamp is the original three-band.

It has a smooth impression, yet an appealingly powerful sound.
It has silky overtones that strongly support an ensemble.

A model of a legendary bassist, produced by a legendary brand.

A truly exceptional piece that you should definitely experience.

Approximately 65% of the frets remain.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition, with some looseness on the 6th and 1st string sides of all frets. This does not interfere with playability.

The body and finish show scratches on the top of the body and numerous cracks and dents on the back.

The electrical system is in good condition.

No obvious modifications were found.
