Mattisson basses?

#22
Janek Gwizdala has also had a signature bass with them for a while now. Really good sounding medium scale bass but from what I last saw they never really got production basses going. Which the production level option was one of the reasons Janek seemed to go them from Fodera. Because he wanted to have a production version of his signature bass that was more affordable and fodera apparently wasn’t interested in doing it maybe because Janeks fodera signature was so similar to Mathew Garrisons

I love my JG V Masterbuilt, but the Temperament Frets teambuilt is just as awesome!

Anders Mattisson and Henrik Linder are both Swedish, and bubbling-unders for world fame. I don't see why Dirty Loops is so reviled as a band. They are incredible players in a certain genre (pop reinventions with monster chops in a trio format). Is it just jealousy?

I find the music they play unpleasant to listen to, but there is no denying their skill. I certainly respect them, just don't ever want to here them.

what’s the difference between these and the masterbuilds? The pink one looks the same, or is different than the one you posted before?

and what is the string spacing on their 6 string basses?

These have the same specs, besides the wenge has a wenge top and wenge fretboard:
Alder body
Maple fingerboard
Maple neck
33" scale
17.5" spacing (adjustable +/- .5mm)
About 10.4lbs

The difference between these and MB, is that these are made by True Temperament frets team with CNC supervised by Anders. Also Anders finishes and set up the basses. Masterbuilts are 100% hand made with no CNC by Anders in his shop, also they are all finished with Oil, Teambuilts are finished with Nitro Laquer satin or glossy.

Last but not least, they are half of the price, besides Anders is only building 4 basses per year and he has a long order book to finish,

It’s about the magnets being in 70s position that way, it does sound best. But it’s easy to put back in the other position as well as to move pickups in the middle and the middle ramp is the same size of the pickups. Also another pick up can be added in the middle and tone control converted in volume!
