Bass Musician Magazine [gear] The Yin Yang Standard Intended to be within easier reach of more bass players than our custom Yin Yangs (which are limited in production to just 6 instruments per year), the Yin Yang Standard is built with a premium Red Alder body, bolton 1-piece Hard Rock Maple neck, Flame Maple top with a painted Yin Yang Symbol and Ebony fingerboard with pearloid inlays. EMG P/J pickups running through our Fodera / Pope 3-band NYC Preamp ensure that the tone you have come to associate with our custom Yin Yangs is there in spades. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Fodera without our legendary feel playability...

A pair of Walnut body wings has been married to a 3-piece Hard Rock Maple neck with an Alder Tone Block. For electronics, we opted to employ our Custom Shop Fodera / Pope Preamp and a set of Fodera / Duncan Dual Coil pickups. Completing the specs are a non-solid Madrone Burltop, Madagascar Kingwood fingerboard, Ebony ramp and Drop Tuner. With its super low action, narrow spacing, 33” scale and E-C tuning, this is one of the easiest playing bass guitars you will ever experienced. Tonally it is beautifully melodic while remaining tight and articulate throughout its extended range. Click to Pre-Order Today
