First time I’ve seen a Meridian outside of their socials… how is it?


Really sweet basses. Balance is superb. The ergonomics of this thing makes it so comfortable to play. Just 38mm thick.
It's like a fine Italian sports car. Hidden fret ends. Aluminum inlays around where the flamed maple top meets the ash body. Also aluminum inlays as fret markers. John East Unipre combined with the Delano pickups is ultimate versatility. Extreme attention to detail. The whole body is one piece of ash. So nice.

Here's a few more pics.

Wow… great description for this bass. It’s always good to hear from people that actually own the bass. You’ve piqued my interest even more now. Thank you!
