Shylock Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 An unusual bass I have not seen before and therefore no idea if price is realistic. Even the seller is unsure of the make and I can find nothing under Genie. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-guitar/1265485497 Anybody seen one before, idea of make or if any good?

spectoremg Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's a Fodera Yin/Yang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickA Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 This (or similar) has been up before - think we all decided it was a far east made Fakera. Passive for one thing and has the wrong pickups (should be EMG). The knobs are wrong and not quite in the right place either. A real one would say Fodera on the bridge. Here's the real one: http://www.fodera.com/yin-yang-standard/ Not a bad visual copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edstraker123 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'd give it a whirl at £100 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawelG Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 When you pick this bass up and play, you can feel it's not a Fodera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
