As we build our video library, links will be posted for viewing bass builds.

 

It's a rare occurence having two Fodera basses in the shop at the same time. These highly desirable instruments are often sold before we take delivery. As such, check our Fodera page for a list of what is available for pre-sale. Build start dates as early as summer 2012.

For your viewing pleasure I offer you the "Koa Twins". Named so because they both feature Koa tops, Alder bodies, 100+ year old Brazilian Rosewood fingerboards and Seymour Duncan dual coils paired with the new Mike Pope pre-amp.

The bass on the left now resides in Montreal with three previously sold Fodera basses.

 

The two Fodera basses were not the only twins we've had here at Ultimate Basses. These two mid 80's Yamaha BB5000's were both really nice vintage instruments. Both have found new homes, one going to California and the other off to Germany. Thank you Hauke and Lloyd.

 

Well, bite my tongue. Two Imperial's shipped from the Fodera, ultimately bound for Austria and Kitchener, were in the shop for just a couple of days. Taking advantage of this even more rare circumstance for a great photo op, I snapped the 4 beauties all lined up.
