Unique Features

This Emperor II 5 string combines a Walnut body and Ash tone block with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard, giving it a warm, articulate tone with deep, tight lows, smooth, clear highs, and slightly compressed mids.

A solid piece of Buckeye Burl with matching pickup covers make up the top of this bass.  We were really happy with the way the Emperor II body shape serves to highlight the gorgeous figuring of the Buckeye top.  We recommend taking a look at the close up picture of this top included to the right!
