Fodera pulled out the stops as it will be on display at the show, but all of their instruments are sick. They are totally old school - no CNC. The necks are hand carved with small carving knives. The Yin Yang Deluxe requires a ton of work to hand fit the top. And the tone of the EMGs with the Pope custom shop preamp is to die for. Sadly they are announcing a new 5-string model at the show that I think is exactly what I was pondering ordering so I may be in trouble yet again. It won't be nearly as fancy or expensive though...
You only live once. And gawd knows I use the crap out of my basses. This one will be my main fretted instrument and be on pretty much every gig I do except for some of the straight jazz hits.
Here's a shot showing the walnut body:
