Superb tonewood configuration
Fodera uses only the finest tonewoods available for their hand-built instruments. The 2021 Yin Yang 5 Standard is no different. The bass begins life with a chambered mahogany body and a blister maple top. This classic tonewood combination serves up balanced tones and keeps the instrument’s weight down. Next up, there's an ultra-stable 3-piece maple neck with a lovely satin finish; meanwhile, an ebony fingerboard serves up top-end brightness and smooth playability. Its this type of detail-oriented construction that ensures the 2021 Yin Yang 5 Standard will be your companion for decades to come.
Hybrid pickup spacing and active onboard electronics
Imagine the best of ’60s- and ’70s-style bass tones. The 2021 Yin Yang 5 Standard’s hybrid pickup spacing delivers that sound every time you plug it in. The middle P-style EMG pickup produces the low-end power you need. Meanwhile, the J-style EMG bridge pickup dials up just the right amount of midrange presence and warmth. With the active 3-band EQ and the active/passive switch, this bass’s pickups give you the power and flexibility to punch through any track.
Fodera: superior playability, tone, and build quality
Established in 1983 by custom luthier Vinny Fodera and pro bassist Joey Lauricella, Fodera enjoys a reputation as the Ferrari of boutique basses. Fodera basses give you the superior playability, sonics, and build quality of the custom models played by bass legends such as Victor Wooten, Anthony Jackson, and Oteil Burbridge — in a more affordable axe. Handcrafted in the US with the same materials by the same top luthiers, Fodera "production" instruments offer no options, allowing them to be built in small runs instead of one-offs, thus holding down the cost. Play a Fodera and take a step up to boutique quality. You’ve arrived.
