Selling my Fodera Monarch Yin Yang Deluxe 5

Specs:
Pau Amarillo / Purpleheart Top
Alder Body
Maple Board with Purpleheart dots, 24 frets
34 scale
Black Hardware
EMG Pickups
Pope Flexcore preamp
Weight: 4,2 kg

This is an opportunity to get one really rare model of the Fodera line. Victor Wooten's Yin Yang Signature will be built only 6 times a year by the Fodera team and most of them are 4-stringers. Retail price today is 8.760 GBP/ 10.500 EUR/ 14.000 USD + plus shipping/import. And - believe it or not - these prices are still paid for them ! The YYD5 is only available directly from Fodera.

This particular Yin Yang has the red/yellow Purpleheart/Pau Amarillo top which was the original config of Victor Wootens initial YY bass.

The bass is ABSOLUTELY easy to play - lowest action - smooth feel of the neck and very lightweight for a 5-string. The sound is extremely explosive, yet organic in the mids. The B string is fully integrated.

The preamp is a Pope Flexcore which works great in this bass. I will give both midrange controls with the bass, which are not yet installed, and the EQ on/off switch. These parts can be easily installed later without soldering (of course drilling holes is needed). The original 2-Bd preamp is still there and will come with the bass too. Original teardrop hardcase and tools included as well.

The condition is indeed MINT - absolutely no damages, no dings, no flaws. Of course there are some veeeery minor scuffs in the polish which appear after a few minutes playing, but you will need to have a close look. Structurally perfect and technically fully working.

TRADED

Hi Pukie, until 2006 or so the YinYangs were built with the 2-Bd preamp. The newborn gallery was invented around 2009 when Jason de Salvo became a partner there. All newborns before are listed only if they were returned to Fodera and sold as Certified Preowned since then.

You can ask Fodera for confirmation.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Pierre :-)
