Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Fodera is one of the world's most popular high-end bass guitar brands.
Founder Vinny Fodera began his career in his teens.
After working at top workshops such as Spector and Ken Smith, he founded Fodera Guitars in 1983.
Top bass players worldwide, including Victor Wooten, Richard Bona, and Anthony Jackson, use their instruments. (Titles omitted)
This is the Emperor model, a relatively classic style within the Fodera lineup.
With its double-cutaway body, its familiar body shape has made it popular with many bassists.
This particular model is a special edition commemorating the brand's 40th anniversary.
Manufactured in 2023, it's a relatively new instrument.
As mentioned earlier, the body top is made of holly, and the back is ash.
Finished with a clear satin coating, it allows you to feel the warmth of the wood.
The neck is maple and the fingerboard is ebony.
Despite the use of maple top wood, the overall construction gives a relatively traditional impression.
The pickups are Seymour Duncan dual-coils, and the preamp is a Fodera original.
This combination is highly regarded by users.
While having a smooth feel, the powerful and sustained sound matches any ensemble, making it truly versatile.
A special instrument from a high-end bass brand, a masterpiece you should definitely try.
Highly recommended.
The frets have approximately 90% remaining.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paintwork show some minor scratches on the body top. A clear sticker is applied near the neck pickup.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were observed.
