Unique Features

Two Olive-topped basses, back to back on the newborn page!

Like the previous instrument, this bass has a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, narrow bridge spacing, and Dove-tail neck construction. That's where the similarity ends as this is an Emperor 5 string with an Ash body.  The tone of this bass is rich and articulate with a deep low end, punchy midrange, and beautifully clear highs.
