Fodera Guitars Monarch 4 P Bass Guitar Ivory Wood

The Monarch 4 P Bass is a new model that's been designed to deliver both the vintage-P vibe and the legendary playability of a Fodera instrument. Based on the Monarch 4-string shape (with round-overs that are unique to the Monarch-P) and using the classic tonewood combination of an alder body, Indian rosewood fingerboard and maple neck, the Monarch-P looks and plays like a Fodera but sounds deliciously old-school.

A completely passive instrument, the Monarch 4 P features an in-house wired circuit consisting of premium 250k solid shaft pots, a 0.047uf capacitor and 1/4” input jack. The Aguilar P-pickup was designed with the legendary early 60’s P-Bass tone in mind to deliver that rich and sought-after tone. The 22-fret neck is crafted from 3-piece hard rock maple with dimensions that are a touch thicker to maintain the optimal balance between tone, playability and comfort.

The top is fashioned from a premium piece of book-matched ivorywood and all of the hardware is completely proprietary, including the high-mass Standard bridge. The Monarch-P is built with a control cavity so that if you wanted to add a preamp down the road there is a place to do it.
