Working bassists know that when you need a boutique bass with unrivaled performance, you just can’t beat the Fodera Emperor Standard. This peerless electric bass delivers the tone, playability, and visuals that have made owning a Fodera a goal of the world’s top bass players, but at a fraction of the cost of custom orders, which take two years to fulfill. Featuring hand-selected solid tonewoods and premium electronics, the Emperor Standard models offer the same features you’d find on a custom model and are handcrafted one at a time by the same experienced luthiers.

Exceptional tonewoods, appointments, and playability. Custom tonewoods meet professional performance in Fodera’s Emperor 5 Standard electric bass. Meanwhile, the silky-smooth compound-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard and Plek’d frets deliver the fluidity you need to nail everything from rootsy grooves to demanding technical passages at ludicrous speed.

Add to that the powerful connection you get from a fully adjustable high-mass bell-brass bridge, and the Emperor 5 Standard delivers the look and feel you’ll only get from a premium, luthier-built instrument.Fodera/Duncan pickups deliver fat, punchy tone without the hum. The Emperor 5 Standard packs a pair of dual-coil pickups designed in a collaboration between Fodera and Seymour Duncan. They’re built with passive dual coils, which integrate with the natural qualities of the tonewoods to produce added punch on the low end, focused mids, and smooth highs.

Fodera/Seymour Duncan Dual Coil pickups deliver a beautifully warm and organic tone; while the coils are wired in parallel for noise-free performance, you’d swear the Emperor Standard was loaded with single-coils. They sound great whether you use them in passive mode or with the onboard Fodera/Pope 3-band preamp.Superior playability, sonics, and build quality. Since 1983, Fodera has been designing electric bass guitars for top bassists like Anthony Jackson, Victor Wooten, and Oteil Burbridge, and they put all their experience and know-how into their Emperor Standard.

The Emperor Standard gives you the superior playability, sonics, and build quality of the custom models played by the bass gods who endorse the brand, in a more affordable axe. Crafted with the same materials by the same top luthiers, Emperor Standard models offer no options, allowing them to be built in small runs instead of one-offs, thus holding down the cost. Take a step up to boutique quality with Fodera.
