Bass Player Magazine Review of the Fodera Emperor 5 Standard and the Yin Yang Standard
The good news about the Fodera Standards just keeps on coming. Bass Player Mag just did a review of both the YYS and the E5S. They are both RAVE reviews. The last line is very telling…

I still have one of the Emperor 5 Standards available – drop me a line if you’d like it!
