Unique Features
Designed around one of our now classic wood combinations -- a Walnut Body and Ebony Fingerboard, this Monarch 5 features some simply stunning wood. Every once in awhile Mother Nature serves up some body wood material that is both interestingly figured AND great sounding -- as in the case of the Walnut used for this body. When the body wood looks and sounds this great, the instrument needs to be matched with a stunning top -- in this case one crafted from Chilean Laurel Burl. Fodera Duncan Dual Coils in matching Wooden Covers and our 2010 Fodera / Pope Preamp ensure that this bass sounds even better than it looks.
