Every player has their own unique needs, be it a desired tone, feel, or an entirely different spec never done before. With our Custom basses, we work one-on-one with you to determine what your needs are and to design a bass that meets those needs. Our goal is to take as much 'fight' out of the instrument and allow it to be an extension of you. No longer do you have to bring multiple basses for a gig. Just grab your Custom bass and start playing!

Our bass guitars are known worldwide for their comfort and playability, which is the result of crafting our instruments by hand. With every Custom bass, we work one-on-one with you to determine the best shape and profile for your needs. Whether it's a thinner body for weight reduction or a unique neck profile for that broken in feel, our skilled luthiers are able to dial in every nuance of your Custom bass.
