My brother in Christ, every single time I watch one of your videos you make me pick up my bass soon after. God uses you to help me practice even on hard and depressing days to praise his name!! My prayers to you and the family from Portugal, and God bless ya brother. Amén
I really love tones that are coming through my headsets, that bass is truly amazing, that gorgeous instrument has a lot booty bump, I hope to get one in my hands some fine day. I probably won't be able to put it down for hours 😎 thanks for sharing it with us. ☺
@@DonOneDetroit if you get one send it to Hobo Depot and let Johnny lee long get it right. I have several china vass that he has worked on. Will be getting another soon and sending it to him
What you have there is the standard version which I had. It is very nice for $5,500. I now have 2 Yin Yang Deluxes and the workmanship in this 2 are out of this world. Those are definitely a labor of love considering Fodera only make 6 a year. At least when I bought my 2014. They run about $12,500. My 2008 was purchased used and the wood was from the same batch as Victor's. That bass is my #1.
Hey Doc, I just want you to know that I appreciate you for who you are. You seem to me, to be a genuine Kat that loves God and that shows up in your presence. Bless you my Brother! I look forward to meeting one Day!
Dang Brobro, it just sounds perfect! That's cold blooded, you know I'll never be able to afford one of those! Anyway, I've enjoyed watching you have fun with it. Maybe I can get you to hype-up a Chinese version for me?
That tone is sick, I never played one but I can tell the way you’re moving across the fretboard, the playability is out of this world - you go Johnny !
I can confirm after visiting the factory/workshop in 2015 that it's absolutely MIND BLOWING to feel and play them... it was like warm melting butter tier smoothness of playing and sliding up and down the neck. the wood and weight was amazing - so light, but so damn solid. it honestly is the most amazing instrumental experience I've had in 19 years of playing music.
also the feeling of playing the notes, the tone and the feeling of playing staccato notes was IN. SANE. it was SO plucky and clean and really punchy and powerful, but not OVERpowering. just... 20/10 would buy (am going to buy!)
Its the price tag Johnny! I love the way they sound but most working musicians can’t drop that kind of cash. Aaaand you don’t find them used very often! Folks who buy them, keep them!
Although probably one of the farthest from a "boutique" bass as it can get, I honestly feel the same way about my Sire V7 4-string. The feel of the one I have is like putting on the most comfortable, broken in pair of shoes that you've owned for years and still makes you look amazing at the same time.
Me too, my 5 string Sire V7 ash maple in sunburst is my weapon of choice. It really speaks to me like nothing else. Low B is thunderous but articulate at the same time and it can sing above 12th fret on D and G strings. It looks nice too.
Johnny sounds great no matter what he plays, a telling lesson for us - he's still the same old funny guy, makes me laugh every time. I play guitar, but JL inspired me to get an Ibanez TMB in coral read, the only color that goes with that scratch plate? I call her "Reddie. If you see this Johnny Long, I love your videos my man, and glad to be back (don't ask where I was)!
I love this bass shape very atttractive bass nice colours .i have chinese fender jazz bass she is a little bit problematic lol the tone knob is cracking from hell lmao.
So personally I wouldn't ever pay the amount of money for one of these straight up... they are really expensive... However, Sweetwater carries them... and anyone who has one of their credit cards knows.. best financing options period! I think the Fodera basses are like 36 month no interest.. if they every do a 48 month, I might just be down.. xD
Emphasis on the some. Warwick is another one that you have to spend some real money to get performance. Whereas I’ve played several foderas and if all you do is play mid range to crappy basses, you need to relearn how you play. It like forces you to be a better bassist. They have such a light low action that it’s almost like playing a regular electric guitar, almost effortless. But super responsive, and that punch is real. It’s really hard to describe.
Bass looks and sounds awesome, but in a live situation you are going to be buried to have a taste to all those sounds. For studio work is a different story, but it sounds so crispy that you must be a really, really good player with impeccable technique as the instrument will show nice sounds but also the player flaws.
It looks a great bass, and a lot of craftmanship and quality has gone into it, but bear in mind, that they do not put their own pups and electrics in it! Not worth the money, when compared to others.
All of those bases come with mike pope preamp and one more thing I can say is that I own all tile of bases all all all and when I test foldera I sold all other bases including 2 Yamaha real one , modulus ,Warwick made in Germany and ken smith and to be honest codera killl it all ,and after codera the 3 other mongers bases are Yamaha Jp ,sadowsky, and ken smith and that it people don’t spend your money in other bases because at the end you will have to go for one of the one Iam telling you
@@chiphargis3703 maybe... but doing that to Fodera seems criminal.. maybe they did make one like that. I have a Yin Yang that was custom ordered without the paint.. so just a Yang... looks awesome!
I've watched this video quite a few times.....so of course when I saw one of these come up for sale used today I lost my mind and bought it. Not telling my wife how much it cost lol.
the clarity is the best ive ever heard on your channel
Thank you for showcasing that beautiful bass.
It does have that great variation in tone.
My brother in Christ, every single time I watch one of your videos you make me pick up my bass soon after.
God uses you to help me practice even on hard and depressing days to praise his name!!
My prayers to you and the family from Portugal, and God bless ya brother.

Super sound
I really love tones that are coming through my headsets, that bass is truly amazing, that gorgeous instrument has a lot booty bump, I hope to get one in my hands some fine day. I probably won't be able to put it down for hours 😎 thanks for sharing it with us. ☺
Beautiful Bass 👌🏿🖤♥️
I still play my China Yin Yang that you worked on for me JJL!!! Love It!!!
Based on the video how does the China Yin Yang compare to the authentic one? Would value your input.

I've watched ur channel for "Long" time Mr. JLong... That bass has you sounding like a complete different bass player dude👍🏽😎SMH Dude you KILLING!!
Hey Doc, I just want you to know that I appreciate you for who you are. You seem to me, to be a genuine Kat that loves God and that shows up in your presence. Bless you my Brother!
I look forward to meeting one Day!
Soon
Wow thats the tone in passive!!! Lordie!!!
channel deserves more attention

Awesome playing!
Johnny you be smoking there at the end, that bass I won't get chance to try!
Don’t forget sharay reed gotta badass fodera too that’s my guy!
You always sound great. You're a great player. But this bass is YOUR sound. It's the best you've ever sounded and that's saying something.
That tone is sick, I never played one but I can tell the way you’re moving across the fretboard, the playability is out of this world - you go Johnny !

and beyond that, listen to how clean this sounds on:
1) a tc electronics combo amp
2) a phone or camera mic

Don't care where u bee. I'm so glad you back..we need u
It sounds like the SD Curley bass, that was famous in the early 80's
Greetings Mr. Long. How does your Chinese Yin Yang compare to the real thing?
That's singing Johnny!
Nice one dude...;)
Johnny you finally broke down and got a real fodera?!?!?!?,
E-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t !🏎
I'm always amazed that Stanley Clarke with his huge hands still plays his 4 string Alembic
Because it is a great base , love this base too .
Can you review an Allen Eden bass? They have similar growl to this one. Dont @ me LOL
I love this bass shape very atttractive bass nice colours .i have chinese fender jazz bass she is a little bit problematic lol the tone knob is cracking from hell lmao.

Killer Bass that price though 😩 and he’s right most funk players play Stingrays or Jazz basses
My man where do you find those suits 🤩
Well... we are waiting
They find him.
What model is the one you’re playing ? That’s the only bass you need
I want a single cutaway 5 fodera
Do the affordable $1000 Warwick basses sound and play well?
Some really do
Emphasis on the some. Warwick is another one that you have to spend some real money to get performance.

For the price.... it shouldn't have a string tree!
I can’t afford it that shit is super smoking what is the exact preamp in that bass? and are those emg’s?
If I bought a Yin Yang I probably would never be able to put it down
Nice , but it’s worth fender ultra jazz , music man and fender American professional.
Tough call. Or 10 Ibanez!
Bass looks and sounds awesome, but in a live situation you are going to be buried to have a taste to all those sounds. For studio work is a different story, but it sounds so crispy that you must be a really, really good player with impeccable technique as the instrument will show nice sounds but also the player flaws.
I don't understand how you don't keep a fire extinguisher near by when you're burnin up the fretboard like that!
What kind of strings do you use?
SIT FOUNDATIONS
Would hootie buy one only real question.
Does your wife ever trip on you about how much you spend on basses? 🤔
And how much he spends on clothes
Not reay....ok sometimes she gives me the eye
@Paul Mina Storm absolutely not
@@ronniemack4831 not alot, vintage stores
It looks a great bass, and a lot of craftmanship and quality has gone into it, but bear in mind, that they do not put their own pups and electrics in it! Not worth the money, when compared to others.
We can’t afford it :)
All of those bases come with mike pope preamp and one more thing I can say is that I own all tile of bases all all all and when I test foldera I sold all other bases including 2 Yamaha real one , modulus ,Warwick made in Germany and ken smith and to be honest codera killl it all ,and after codera the 3 other mongers bases are Yamaha Jp ,sadowsky, and ken smith and that it people don’t spend your money in other bases because at the end you will have to go for one of the one Iam telling you
You only have a Fodera now?
Yes
I put the Mike Pope Pre in my Peavey bass and it sounds like Victor Wutang 👍
I don't want to be a jerk. But I have never seen a Fodera Yin Yang standard with a glossy finish... do you have paperwork on that bass?
He has a custom shop perhaps he hobo depot it?
@@chiphargis3703 maybe... but doing that to Fodera seems criminal.. maybe they did make one like that. I have a Yin Yang that was custom ordered without the paint.. so just a Yang... looks awesome!
@@chiphargis3703 fwiw, everything from Fodera is basically custom shop.. even these are made by the same group of people in NY
@@trickyric67 I know that, I was saying maybe he put the finish on.I’m well aware of the Fodera brand.
Hobo Depot. 🤣
That there Bass am is what is Bass
I've watched this video quite a few times.....so of course when I saw one of these come up for sale used today I lost my mind and bought it.
Not telling my wife how much it cost lol.
e
No hootie
I'm not really interested in the bass, Im more into your fashion. You should do a fashion channel....
I would never pay the price for a Fodera.I’m just a Fender guy With the Bartolini axis pick ups.
Fodera basses are overpriced and a very flat sounding bass!
