In this image you can see Victor playing his Fedora Monarch. According to his official site Victor says this is "A Fodera Monarch with an ebony and yellow wood top. This bass sounds a bit jazzier than the other Yin Yang bass. It has a newer set of EMG pickups. I think they're called EMGx."

"This was built by my friend Joe Compito. It has a purple heart top and an ebony fingerboard with purple heart fret markers. It was the first fretless or 5-string Joe had ever built. (He got it right the first time.) I've used this on many Flecktones recordings including "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo"."
