Looking for a world-class 6-string bass built without compromise? The Fodera Emperor II Elite 6 Strings represents the pinnacle of boutique bass craftsmanship.

Fodera has long been regarded as one of the most prestigious bass manufacturers in the world, trusted by countless professional musicians for its exceptional build quality, playability, and tone. The Emperor II Elite stands among the company's flagship offerings.

This instrument features a beautiful walnut top paired with an ash and maple body core, delivering a rich tonal balance with powerful lows, articulate mids, and exceptional clarity throughout the frequency spectrum.

The multi-laminate maple and walnut neck is constructed using a through-neck design, providing outstanding sustain, stability, and effortless access to all 24 frets.

Two humbucking pickups are paired with an extremely versatile electronic system that includes active/passive switching, coil-tap functionality, a 3-band EQ, and a mid-frequency selector switch. This extensive control layout allows players to dial in virtually any sound imaginable, from vintage warmth to modern hi-fi clarity.

As a 6-string instrument, the Emperor II offers an expanded range that is ideal for advanced techniques, chordal playing, solo bass performance, and contemporary musical styles.

Despite its substantial 5.35kg weight, the bass remains highly playable thanks to Fodera's excellent ergonomic design and balance.

Approximately 90% of the fret life remains, and the instrument is currently set up with comfortable action measuring 1.8mm on the treble side and 2.8mm on the low-string side at the 12th fret.

Cosmetically, the bass is in excellent condition with only minimal signs of use.
