Sure !
The YYD5 just has a John East U-Retro installed. The other pic shows the original Haz 2-Bd. preamp.
I just realized that the Standard preamp has a slightly different knob positioning. Will the newer custom pre probably fit the knob layout of my YYD5 ? I have an older (pre-2009) Pope pre which will not fit as it is an Emperor layout. But the MG layout by any chance ?
Just stunning.
I am thrilled that I picked a top from the same batch for my current Monarch 5 build when I was in Brooklyn in March.
I was told by Jason after I looked at at least a dozen others and decided on mine that it was the same walnut as the "Nostatic" top. Todd has great taste!
I am also excited that I listened to Joey when he told me to pull the abalone inlays from the build as that top with ebony (fretted) would look great with no inlays or dots.
Just when I was whining to my wife this morning about paying down a bunch of my balance tomorrow, seeing a bass like this makes it an easy call to Laura or Phil.
The basses coming out of Fodera seem to get better looking every day.![]()
Thanks! And, please note that this is a "Standard" top for us...Curly Walnut and Curly Maple...

Hey folks, not really Fodera bass related, but Fodera endorsee Janek Gwizdala is running a string donation service that donates used strings to musicians in countries such as Cuba.
Great cause and I have arranged to have a local retailer donate approx 1000 sets of bass and guitar strings a year. I am also donating a bunch of strings.
No affiliation, but additional info here....
