This special bass has a tremolo (whammy bar) from the factory, super rare!

Model: Emperor Deluxe

Body Wood: Ash

Top Wood: Buckeye Burl

Fingerboard: Birdseye Maple

Neck: 3-Piece Maple Hard Rock

Scale Length: 34"

Finish: Acrylic Satin

Tuners: Gotoh

Hardware Color: Gold

Electronics: EMG BQS preamp is currently installed in the bass, as are EMG 40DCX Pickups. The original Custom Pope Preamp and EMG PJ pickups are in the case. 

There are currently two EMG toggle switches on the bass. The switch closest to the fretboard is a “kill switch” aka no sound at all.

The 2nd switch is an EMG volume boost switch. However, the boost switch is not currently connected to the EMG Preamp as the original owner wasn’t certain as to the proper way to wire the switch. The boost switch was essentially installed simply to fill the void so there were (2) matching switches. We are able to make the switch into any functionality for the associated cost - just message us!

Includes OHSC. 10lb
