Fodera has been building basses by hand in Brooklyn since 1983, around 350 instruments a year.

Nothing about it comes off a shelf, which is why it starts with a deposit and not an add to cart on a finished instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou pay the deposit here.
