Fodera Monarch 5 Standard bass with a unique pickup configuration for this model--a MM-style pup at the bridge, and J-style pup at the neck position. Great sounding bass that is lightweight, and balances well. It is in great shape, other than a small chip in the headstock on the treble side.

Features:

Walnut body
3-piece maple neck with ebony fretboard
Ivorywood top (looks very much like holly)
Fodera/Pope preamp with 3-band EQ controls
Fodera hardshell case included along with COA

These pics are stock from Sweetwater, where I purchased the bass. I'll try and post up some pics of my own later on. Meanwhile, here's a YouTube demo video I put together:

Only trades I would consider would be: Aguilar DB680, Fodera Emperor 5 Standard, Fodera Monarch 4 P, or Aguilar DB750 or 751
