The specifications for this dream fretless bass took over 10 years to conceptualize. After trying many different wood and neck combinations and construction methods, I settled on an oak/walnut/ebony/ash combination. The woods are primarily based on Fodera’s Monarch Standard Fretless, but with the addition of a dense Northern Ash Tone block and a thick asymmetrical 28 fret position neck. I am very grateful to have worked closely with Vinny Fodera and the Fodera Team to make this a reality. Vinny has commented that he believes it may be the finest sounding fretless they have ever built. I sold several basses to get this one and I am glad I did!
