Fodera is one of the world's most popular high-end bass guitar brands.
Founder Vinny Fodera began his career as a teenager.
After working at top workshops like Spector and Ken Smith, he founded Fodera Guitars in 1983.
Their instruments are beloved by the world's top bass players, including Victor Wooten, Richard Bona, and Anthony Jackson. (Titles omitted)
This is the Emperor, a Fodera model with a relatively classic style.
With a double-cut body, its familiar shape has earned it a strong following among bassists.
This is a new model, manufactured in 2021.
The body is ash, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is birdseye maple.
It has a beautiful grain pattern.
The overall design gives off a traditional impression.
The pickups are original dual-coil, and the preamp is also original from Fodera.
It's a combination you can't go wrong with.
The smooth, yet powerful and resilient sound matches any ensemble, giving it a truly all-purpose feel.
And the crisp sound is truly representative of a '70s Fender Jazz Bass, produced by the king of high-end basses.
The latest model from a high-end bass brand, this is one you should definitely try out.
I recommend it.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have some minor scratches and dents, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The pickguard has been replaced.
