Unique Features

This Emperor II was built for one of our US dealers.  With six strings, 19mm spacing and 35" scale length, a tight, warm low end gives way to gorgeous, rich highs and precise mids.  Combining an Ash body (and an Ash tone block) with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard gives this bass a mix of brightness and warmth, resulting in a tone that is designed to suit many playing situations.  Just what you'd want in an extended-range instrument!
