Foderas play like butter. Best feeling necks ever made and if you love low action you can take these lower than any other bass I've ever owned. I've owned the real VW Monarch Yin Yang 4 w/ EMG P/J setup and a Matt Garrison 4 with Duncan Dual coils and I ended up selling them both. Why would I sell these masterpieces? Tonewise, I play rock music. For as amazing as Foderas are I just never found them to be ideal for rock music. Rock music screams Fender P or Fender jazz. On the other hand, for jazz style players (Victor, Janek, etc) they're absolutely the most perfect basses ever built. If money were no object I'd buy another Fodera Monarch or Imperial just to have one in my arsenal. They're that amazing!
