Fodera Emperor Standard 5 comments

[Just Thumpin']

Actually, we called them "Standard" simply because we got to choose the specs and they weren't custom...

Cheers,

I already updated mine from a 3 band EQ to a 4 band EQ and that bass rocks.

tell us about the new preamp??? Is it totally new or does Mike Pope sell the 2 mid option as after market??? I recently ordered the 4 string sibling of the bass which has the monarch profile which i prefer.

PS +1000 on the US Military. You guys are the real heros and totally unappreciated....

These Emperor Standards are beautiful, but I believe my technique and chops are not developed enough or clean enough to get the most out of one. I know a Fodera can be used for anything, but they have unreal clarity and a sweet high end that is ideal for solos or bass melodies. I know I would get better use out of a bass with a more meat and potatoes tone.

I appreciated your support on the military. I think you are talking about the Stack Hi/Low mid pod that I install in the already standard preamp. I tell you it was the best decision I ever made. I have a lot more flexibility in the sound now.

Anyone else receive a E5S lately or having one delivered soon?

I am still 6-8 weeks away.
