I wasted no time in getting YYS#2 under the lights. It showed up Friday at 7:00pm and I had a gig at 9:00pm. I opened the box, took it out of the case, wrapped my hands around the neck and instantly fell in love. I feels like a $1,000,000! It's everything that I could ever want in a bass.
Superb neck and set up. I have never played a bass with action this CRAZY low with no buzz.
The sound is beautiful. Crisp, clear, modern, punchy, articulate, dynamic, yet very even all around the neck. The preamp is extremely active in fact I enjoyed the sound best with the preamp just set flat. My sound man also loved it! He commented on how easily he was able to get a great sound out front. He said that he was actually able to turn the bass up louder in the mix because of it! I like that.
The bass looks amazing. Incredible fit and finish. It's carved beautifully and feels so smooth yet so solid. I'm telling people in the bar about my new bass, like the one that Victor Wooten plays and they say, "who"? Are you kidding me!?
I also had a gig on Sat. and it performed as well or even better because I am starting to get more used to it.
My wife asked me if I could ever find 1 bass that would be my only bass.............is she nuts? Well, this bass could actually be it. Feel, Sound, and Looks, I can't ask for anything more.
Thank you Fodera for making this bass and selling it to me! I can't wait for this weekend.......2 more gigs....can you tell I'm excited?
If you're not on the wait list, I suggest you get on it. I have many expensive basses. Sadowsky, Ken Smith, Lakland and others. My Fodera Yin Yang Standard is like a lovely mix of all my favorite features of all of my other basses, all in one. You will not be disappointed.
