Description
If you are a true bass nut, you have probably heard of STR basses. It is not so likely that have you played one.
I have heard STR referred to in the bass community as the ” Japanese Fodera “.
While I understand the positive vibe attached to that comparison, this is not fair to either Fodera or STR.
Fodera makes wonderful basses, as does STR.
As with all basses , I suggest you assess the quality vs. price equation for each bass you play.Be objective.
STR does indeed make some very fine basses that use beautiful wood, the more hi end type of basses we love.
The Sierra was designed to be a much more affordable alternative to their Custom Shop instruments. There is NO sacrifice in electronics and hardware.
The cost reduction has come in the “cosmetics” department – a simple matte paint job , your choice black or white.
No exotic woods. Just good sounding woods.
