【used】Fodera / Emperor 5J Standard Classic Olympic White 2021 4.580kg #E5S197C【GIB Yokohama】

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.

It features a double-cutaway body, and its familiar body shape has made it popular with many bassists.

This particular instrument was manufactured in 2021, making it a relatively new model.

The body is made of ash, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is Indian rosewood—a very classic combination.

The overall construction gives a traditional impression.

The pickups are Saymour Duncan single-coils, and the preamp is also a Fodera original.

This is an undeniably excellent combination.

While possessing a smooth feel, its powerful and sustained sound makes it a truly versatile instrument that matches any ensemble.

And its crisp sound is exactly what you'd expect from a Fender Jazz Bass crafted by the king of high-end basses.

This latest creation from a high-end bass brand is definitely worth trying.

Highly recommended.

Fret life is approximately 90%.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

Regarding the body and paintwork, there are some buckle-like marks on the back of the body. There are scattered dents on the sides of the body, and a dent of about 10.0mm causing paint chipping near the backplate.

The electronics are in good condition.

The preamp was found to be faulty, so it has been replaced with a preamp currently used in Fodera basses.
