Matrix  

 

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.

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.
