The Matrix Bass
The 4-string conventional magnetic pickup model. There are two body styles, the original M401 with a straight upper horn, and the M402 with a curved horn. The 401 line comes with either EMG pickups & preamp, or with a Bartolini pickup/preamp package. They have a custom stand, since the hybrid configuration does not fit a conventional stand.

Bei Bass
An early version of the 4-string hybrid bass. My friend bassist Leo Bei gave me parts from an old bass, a Graphite neck, Bartolini pickups, and asked me to make something with them. Walnut body wings, carbon fibre pick guards, Sperzel locking tuners.
Matrix Goth
The first bass with the "goth"-type finish. Ted McCann gave me an ESP bass neck and I fashioned this matrix bass around it. The wood is highly sculpted Wenge, a dark wood with a coarse texture.
Matrix 0
Matrix prototype.
