[nostatic]

my excuse is that i'm an aj6 guy through and through. so 4-strings don't do it for me.

good luck.

My excuse is I prefer the monarch control layout.

You sure do...unfortunately that is because when Amanda posted the one that is for sale, apparently she listed the wrong one...LOL and sigh at the same time...

This is the correct one (and has 21 frets)...

I count 24 frets on the Monarch. Sweet bass. Or base

It sure does. Wow, that's a lot of room for a thumb to get busy.

That's a pretty bass. Very tasteful.

Jason - if you order a elite model without a top will the price be lower?

 

[Just Thumpin']

Yes, we do offer a $500 credit for that...not on the price list as we are rarely asked to do one, but there it is!

Any pictures/videos?

I was also wondering what fret wire tends to be used on Fodera's instruments.
My guess is that the thickness might be down to the customer, but are there materials that are typically used on Foderas?

Can't get enough of those pictures from the newborns BUT! Of all the Fodera basses, I like the looks of the Ying Yang 4 Deluxe with Purpleheart / Pau Amarillo top the most. That bass deserves a medal!

I'm partial to this one but I'm biased

GREAT photography and even greater bass. Wow.

A butterfly-shaped medal on the headstock?

I am not very fond of Fodera Yin Yang, until I see this.

What do they call the little wood block surrounded by the ebony top, walnut body and maple neck?

Sounds good. Cause I like the raw ash body look

Actually I strung my Emperor 4 which is ash body, ash neck and tulipwood fingerboard which is more like rosewood, up with a A-C tuning and I really like the solo sound in the higher register. The next days I will A/B with my walnut/maple/ebonv bass. Even my Emperor only have single coils

Bass sex. I believe that's the technical term anyway.

I guess there is no special name for it. Dovetail neck joint with Yin Yang top.
