Fodera Unveils Masterbuilt Cherry Blossom Bass
Just in time for the blooming trees, Fodera has revealed the latest in their Masterbuilt series with an instrument called the Cherry Blossom. The one-of-a-kind bass is built using their Monarch design with a multi-piece fanned Flame Maple top with gorgeous inlay work.
“The top is comprised of over 150-pieces Pink Mother of Pearl, Stone, and Desert Ironwood to create its Cherry Blossom inlays. To make sure that nothing disrupts the pattern, its single Fodera / Duncan Dual Coil pickup is camouflaged within the top by a matching wooden pickup cover that allows for continuity within the lines of the fan pattern.”
Fodera followed up on the minimalist theme by forgoing their standard preamp and utilizing passive electronics with matching wooden knobs. Other features include a Black Limba body, a flamed ebony fingerboard, and a flamed maple tone block matched with a five-piece maple and wenge neck.
