Cheap Yin Yang Fedora Bass?

Bass Brother, don't believe the hype. It's a knockoff Bass made in Asia. A REAL Fodera costs thousands. Here's my Four....

For some reason, the last picture didn't seem to upload correctly above . If you click on the thumbnail, it should enlarge and you'll notice that all of the Fodera Basses have Fodera bridges. Do yourself a favor and get a Real one made by The Team in Brooklyn NY. You'll be glad that you did.

How come it's so cheap? I've seen other music stores selling it for $5,000 and above.
Oh, man. I thought you were just joking. FEDORA is a misnomer for FODERA, a brand based out of New York City in the USA. Be very careful when ordering from places like dhgate or alibaba. They sell counterfeits all the time. If you ever see a Fodera for less than four digits, run fast. These are top-notch instruments, and the cheaper ones you see online are fake. They may look and even sound pretty, but they are not the same.
 
My mistake. I was secretly hoping I could get one for around the $1000 mark. Oh well, You need to pay the big bucks for a top quality instrument. Thanks for the help everybody.
Phew. I am so sorry my lame humor almost led you down the wrong road. That would have stuck with me to the grave.

BTW They have a nice little blurb at the end of the ad ! Couldn't have described playing Bass better myself. :D

"For music lovers, cool bass guitars is another very important instrument. The sound of bass guitar pedals is relatively low, and more solemn, which can bring a different feeling. The bass electric guitar is suitable for blue and jazz music, also, you can learn to sing a song with the bass guitar buy for your beloved girl, which can show your love so perfectly."

Those low low prices are only available for Australians.
When I look at that same page I see very very high prices.
They probably use your IP address to determine which country you're in & then adjust the price accordingly. U.S. citizens always have to pay more, it's the law.
