Unique Features
This Imperial 5 features a tone-wood combination that we have come to build with more and more, and for good reason. The combination of a Walnut body, Swamp Ash tone block, and Ebony fingerboard just seems to do everything well!
Tonally, this instrument is articulate and punchy, yet warm and deep in its low end with clear bell-like highs. This bass doesn't fool around in the looks department either, with a gorgeous Buckeye Burl solid-top (with matching pickup covers), Abalone block inlays, and a 5-piece Hard Rock Maple neck with Purpleheart stringers.
Top-notch tone paired with top-notch looks. What else could you want in a bass?
