Description

Since 1983, Fodera instruments have been designed and crafted for the working musician. Our first priority is to craft an instrument that will meet all of your tonal needs and last for generations. In pursuit of producing the finest handcrafted instruments, we designed proprietary parts, working with leaders in the worlds of pickup design and hardware manufacturing to develop components that are of the utmost reliability and functional design.

Our bass guitars are known worldwide for their comfort and playability, which is the result of crafting our instruments by hand. With every Custom bass, we work one-on-one with you to determine the best shape and profile for your needs. Whether it's a thinner body for weight reduction or a unique neck profile for that broken in feel, our skilled luthiers are able to dial in every nuance of your Custom bass.

Every Fodera bass utilizes tap tested tone woods selected for resonance, stability, and tonal preferences. Because of our wide selection of materials we are able to craft your sound from bright and articulate to warm and punchy and everything in between. Additionally all of our wood is sustainably sourced from all parts of the globe.

Designed in collaboration with leading pickup manufacturers such as Seymour Duncan and EMG, our pickups feature proprietary designs developed over the last 25+ years. Matched with our Fodera Preamp, designed in collaboration with Mike Pope, our 3 and 4 band preamps feature active and passive modes, an incredibly low noise floor, and internal switching for user-selectable EQ frequencies to provide you with all the tonal flexibility you'll ever need.
