There's a Fodera publicity showing a Y&Y Emperor II , flamed Koa & Quilted Maple, 4 Str. in a german magazine.... maybe Jason has a picture of it - couldnt find one on the internet.
Also Jason my question is :
The had been the 25th anniversary basses (one was the eagle on an Emperor II two ? years ago) - it was said that there will be 25 anniversary basses.... but I have never seen another one.... do you have maybe pics of other anniversarys ?

If memory serves me correctly, there were only 3 or 4 of the 25 25th Anniversary basses that ever got made. They took a TREMENDOUS amount of time and it was an idea that just could not humanly be implemented...

Whoa, a Yin Yang 6? Never seen one of those before either. Must be an exciting project for you guys!

Here's a photo I took of Anthony at a 2005 Victor Wooten show. It was the first time I saw an Imperial Yin Yang. I framed this picture and gave it to him the following year when VW returned on tour. Anthony thought it was a pretty good photo.

We actually will not build any more Emperor II Yin Yangs...we are only offering them in the future in either Monarch or Imperial configurations as they are both symmetrical and lend themselves better to the Yin Yang design...
On a previous visit to the shop I took a picture of that bass while it was still in the works. Here it is:

Does anybody maybe know the actual owner of this Bass ???
The old Fodera page where the Bass was shown (a pic with the owner and Joey - both holding BeezElites) says Booker T. Smith - but I can't find nothing on the web about him.
I wanna buy it - if I could get the chance

Omg, that's one of the best pieces of buckeye I've ever seen!
If only it weren't a lefty bass
hey jason, here's another weird archival-style question for you.
when did you all go from double truss rods to single truss rod on fodera 6-string basses?
i'm figuring somewhere between 450 and 575 (?).
