Just checked the price on these. Obviously not for the casual player. I could buy another motorcycle for the cost of one of these beasts. Obviously for well-to-do professional players.
@@robertkerr9738 well like anything at the top of the market, you are paying for the prestige and exclusivity as well as the craftsmanship. Is it twice as good as an Ibanez? maybe, maybe not. But two ibanez can't make a Fodera.

very crisp sounding. I think I like the alder a little more.
Beautiful!
Sweet basses!!! I wish you would have played over the top of the neck pickups when you soloed it, it makes a big difference.
thanks a lot for your demo , just one thing ... how does it balance when playing sitting down ? weight ? neck dive ?
Excellent video thank you. Professor Darren Barrett - Berklee College of Music
Okay Darren.
Thanks, Darren.
Who makes the pick ups?
EMG

Yeah. Fodera is to basses as what Rolex is to watches.
obviously.
They really should license their designs to a mass manufacturer. That way, even beginners could have their own Fodera. They would corner the market.
Are they worth it? What I hear is a bass that, to me, doesn’t sound thousands of dollars more than other Basses. I’m willing to be convinced though!

Great!
I have the mahogany 4 on order.
Awesome, enjoy it!
Try playing over the neck pickup sometimes . Varying your right hand position gives different tones.
I'm sure you blew his mind with such ground breaking information.
Funny you said that I was hoping he played over the neck pick up also to get that warm jazzy sound I was wondering how deep it would go
The bass is nice, but not the sound
