Product Description

Here we have an amazing Fodera Emperor 5-String bass guitar from 2011! This one features a monster quilt maple top with matching headstock.

Other specs include a semi-hollow ash body, 3-piece hard rock maple neck, birdseye maple fingerboard, ebony dot inlays, 24 frets and bolt-on construction. It has a 34” scale length with 17.5mm string spacing and ‘70s style pickup spacing. The pickups are a set of Seymour Duncan Dual Coils with factory ebony wooden pickup covers. It has a the Fodera/Pope 3-Band EQ as well.

Tone Wolf is an authorized Fodera dealer, plus we’re situated one building over from Fodera here in Brooklyn. Being so close, we were able to have this instrument factory setup and serviced by Joey Lauricella. This bass has been well-played but not abused. There are a couple small finish chips on the top, with another area of chipping and buckle wear concentrated on the back. There are there faint dings and topical marks across the instrument, as well as some light wear and patina on the parts.

This bass weighs in at 9lbs 14oz. The neck measures .790 to .880 at the 1st and 12th frets. It has the thin/fast profile that really feels and plays like it sounds. This bass is a nice weight, it’s well balanced and it plays wonderfully in every way.

Ships in the original hardshell case and includes a copy of the build sheet.
