On occasion something new comes along that truly alters the game. We believe the release of the Tom Kennedy Emperor II Standard (TKS) is just such an occasion. Single Cut style and Bolt-On tone. This bass was designed in close consultation with our dear friend and Fodera Endorsing Artist, Tom Kennedy. The TKS sports a 5A Flame Maple top on a Single-Cut Ash body. The neck is crafted from one piece of quartersawn Hard Rock Maple and the fingerboard is Ebony.
The combination of black hardware, hidden pole pieces on the pickups and an Ebony Fingerboard provide a sleek, clean look to this beautiful instrument. Aside from the obvious difference of utilizing Bolt-On construction, another variation from Tom’s original signature bass is the use of more traditional 70’s pickup spacing for some added tonal flexibility. We believe the result of this project is a bass that combines the functionality and affordability of our standard instruments with the highly sought after aesthetics of our Single-Cut custom models.
