Fodera Unveils the Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard Bass

Fodera Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard Bass

Late last year, Fodera revealed a new signature bass for Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne and Soften the Glare. Now they’ve extended the model to their standard line with the Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard.

“You asked for it. The Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard is here!” they shared. “We worked closely with Ryan to make sure that this standard is the quality that you would expect from Fodera. The specs were carefully selected to match his needs whether on tour or the studio.”

The bass is built with a Korina body topped with flame maple in a transparent amber zig zag color scheme. Its three-piece neck is fitted with an ebony fingerboard sporting a single inlay of the Mudvayne Rhombus at the 12th fret.

A pair of EMG J/J/ 5 pickups are placed at an angle and matched to a Fodera/Pope Standard 3-Band preamp.

Get the scoop on the Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard from the bassist himself and Fodera’s Mike Bendy:

The Fodera Ryan Martinie Blondie Standard is available for pre-order with a direct price of $6,700.
