Brilliant! I noticed you have the neck pickup effectively upside down.....putting the single coil rail closer to neck. This is what I intend to do for my current custom build (first build ever). Yours is the first bass that I have seen to do this. May I ask? Are these EMG 45TW or EMG 45TWX pickups? Looks like TW but is hard to see. I am having difficulty finding decent sound samples of both of these pickups. Also, maybe you can help me with my one last frustration. What string-spacings do you typically use, at bridge and at nut? I am undecided about this one. Many thanks and keep building these inspirational instruments :)
1BassJohn Its a marvellously musical bass and can cover may areas. It is like a thoroughbred in that you have to wrangle it as it challenges you to find its limitation which I have not done - I can say it is like mix between the Fodera of Anthony Jackson and the Fodera of Richard Bona - it is a joy but a monster also!
Danny Shorten That's wonderful to hear. I only just discovered the brand very recently, and have been watching these videos just this evening. Brilliant craftsman and player who makes these, I respect that. The basses sound so articulate.. Extremely clear tone which I love. I'd love to hear more playing with some nice mids and bridge sounds, as I haven't had a chance to hear that yet. You are right, the tones do remind me of Jackson. I have my heart on another bass which I will be looking at soon, though I will seriously consider one of these and do some research. Thanks for your reply, wonderful to hear from you!
Hej! Du jag undrar om det e någon möjlighet at testa basarna? Vil ju veta om det e något som passar för mig. Så om det e någonstans man kan testa dom i Sverige, låt mig veta! :D Dom låter helt fantastiskt! :D
Really nice that guy doing the demo is really nice, knowledgeable and a really good player. Very refreshing
This bass is a "Beast" clear, extended range, slap tone, you can get that Anthony Jackson and Marcus Miller thing all in one bass.
Beautiful instrument!!!!!
Trevlig bas! Tillverkaren verkar ju, om möjligt, ännu trevligare!
Amazing bass! This lowest G sounds so clear
Very very beautiful sound!
What a beautiful thing that is!!!
unbelieveble great!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm, very nice instrument. I like some of the concepts used in the design.
Amazing instrument.
wonderful, one of these I wanted
WOW AMAZING!!!!
This is some serious bass fellas.For sure the cost must be insane.😁
Question: Are those pickups the 40TW or the 40WTX? The bass looks and sounds AMAZING!!!
Thanks!
40TWX
Unreal!!
How much does a double bass cost to import to Brazil? I'm interested.
Can someone please tell me why Mattisson Bass never answers my email questions about whether I can buy / have them make me a bass? :-(
They sell in Sweden and are to big to be bothered anywhere else. I tried to. Fuck em'. I bought a Ken Smith instead.
What string brand do you use, what string gauge do you use?
OMG, how much to afford?
Hi Jan, in Euros, about 5000.

You might check out De Geir in Rotterdam also - very different in many ways but equally crafted. But the Mattisson is special somehow!

Hej Alexander! Ja, vi finns ju i Sverige så du är välkommen hit. Vi har inga instrument ute i butiker dock.
