Fodera Emperor Standard Classic Special Run - Cherry Burst, Ash Body, Rosewood Fingerboard

Classic Style and Amazing Fodera Performance
When you need a classic bass vibe and unrivaled performance, you just can't beat Fodera's Emperor 5 Standard Classic 5-string bass. This retro-style bass delivers the exceptional performance that has made owning a Fodera the goal of the world's top bass players, but at a fraction of the cost of a custom model. The hand-selected ash body, hard rock maple neck, and compound-radius rosewood fretboard are the same as you'd find on a custom model. And this bass was built by the same luthiers who produce Fodera's top-of-the-line models. A cool feature to highlight is the ash body paired with a rosewood fingerboard - a tonewood combination not usually available on this model. Top it off with custom dual-coil pickups, a Fodera/Pope 3-band preamp, and a bell-brass bridge. You couldn't ask for a finer bass than the Emperor 5 Standard Classic.

Exceptional tonewoods, appointments, and playability
Classic tonewoods meet professional performance in Fodera's Emperor 5 Standard Classic electric bass. A hand-selected, aged ash body with a quartersawn rock maple neck delivers a classic combination of resonance and sustain, while a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard feels amazing from low roots grooves to high-fret solos. Add to that the powerful connection you get from a fully adjustable high-mass bell-brass bridge, and the Emperor 5 Standard Classic delivers the look and feel you'll only get from a premium, luthier-built instrument.
Fodera/Duncan pickups meet Fodora/Pope electronics
Forget about outboard EQs or studio magic - when you're rocking an Emperor 5 Standard Classic, the magic happens in the bass. That's because the Emperor 5 Standard Classic features a set of Fodera/Duncan dual-coil pickups and a Fodera/Pope Standard Preamp with 3-band EQ. Together, these elements let you craft an absolutely massive range of bass tone, from deep and round R&B tones to bright and popping slap bass punch. What's particularly cool about this combination is how clean and clear the tone is, so no matter how dramatically you tweak your tone, you don't have to worry about noise.
Built in Brooklyn, New York, by Fodera's top-notch luthiers
When you're a small instrument company like Fodera, you don't have a custom shop for high-end orders and a main production shop for standard models - you simply have a shop, and the same guys crafting the made-to-order instruments make the production models. In fact, each Emperor 5 Standard Classic is handcrafted with the same materials used for custom orders and by the same luthiers. And if you wanted to order a custom model with these exact specifications, you'd get the exact same bass. Pretty cool, right? That's well over three decades of master craftsmanship behind literally every instrument that leaves the shop - and you'll feel it in every note you play.
