- All Mattisson gear is inspected prior to shipping -
Series IV H/H ”Swiss”
-This bass is a one of a kind Mattisson bass, the most ”off the chart” they have made so far.
-What started as an ”easy to take apart” bass for travel turned into a Headed Headless bass with the functionality of a headless bass combined with the aesthetically pleasing look of a headstock.
-Double scale design, where the standard tuning starts at the second fret (with first dot on 5th fret). The scales are 31”/35”.
-"Bending well” under the C and G strings.
-6-string range in a 5-string bass due to the Hipshot Bass Extender.
-One of the most exclusive Masur Birch tops Mattisson has ever encountered.
Normally Mattisson includes one or two of these extra features in a bass, but since this ”experiment” has many, it's referred to as the ”Swiss”
