Frequently Asked Questions
The Fodera pickups offer a unique, slightly more vintage-voiced character than Aguilar’s aggressive punch or Spector’s growl, with a smoother high-end and a more rounded low-end.
Fodera’s bolt-on construction is meticulously executed, utilizing a three-piece maple neck for exceptional stability; it maintains excellent resonance and sustain comparable to many set-neck basses.
Satin finishes are inherently more susceptible to showing handling marks; regular polishing and careful handling will help maintain its appearance, but expect some signs of use over time.
