For sale Fodera Emperor 5 Standard Classic Special (**Excellent Cond!!)

For sale is my Fodera Emperor 5 Standard Classic Special bass. It has an absolutely beautiful transparent Black Burst finish over an ash body, 3-piece maple neck with rich Rosewood fretboard.

I did my best to try to capture the beauty of the finish (no longer available in this model), but it is even more impressive in person.

This bass is in excellent condition (9.5 of 10). The pickguard shows superficial usage marks, and there is a slight 1mm surface scratch near the bottom of the lower-front pick guard screw (which wouldn’t show up in the pics).

The neck is superb…smooth and effortless to play. Tonally, it has the wonderful sound of the Fodera 3-band Pope preamp… very versatile, clear and articulate.

It comes with the standard Fodera “tear-drop” HSC, Certificate of Authenticity, Tools, and a set of Fodera medium gauge strings.
