Victor Wooten redefines the word musician. Regaled as one of the most influential bassists since Jaco Pastorius, Victor is known for his solo recordings and tours, and as a member of the Grammy-winning supergroup, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. He is an innovator on the bass guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and simply one of the finest people we know.
The Yin-Yang is one of our more challenging models to create due to the complexity of the many details involved in its' design. For example, the top is created from two pieces of wood seamlessly fitted together to create the Yin-Yang pattern which continues onto the end of the fretboard in order to complete the picture. As is true with all Fodera basses, the Yin-Yang is entirely handcrafted and tailored to the individual needs of the player.
As with its' sister model, the Yin-Yang 5 was created at Victor's request. He wished to have a 5 string version of the 4 but in a different color scheme. Ultimately, the current choices of Purpleheart and Pau Amarillo were decided on for their visual beauty and superior sonic properties.
