Decades, really!
In the late 1990s I had a vision for a fretless bass that I only fully began to understand in the early 2020s.
From its original "a piece of tree with strings" concept to the fully realized and versatile design of today, the Apeiron bass has become one of my most popular models. It has now been expanded for players seeking more than just a "fretless tree with strings" but still features the (probably overthought ) unique design.
Make no mistake. This is not just a cookie cutter bass with a new shape. It is different than every other bass you've played - but not "too different" - and will unlock potential and creativity you didn't know was in you.
I'll build an Apeiron Just for you (usually a 2-3 month lead time) Choose your configuration!
Don't want to wait? Check out the current inventory of prototypes, experiments
and stock Apeirons that are ready to ship.
Now available in 4- and 5-string models, fretted or fretless. 6 strings is also a potential custom build. Contact Tim to discuss.
Mid-scale length for ease of intonation and an extended fingerboard for high Bs and Cs. 1.5" nut, 19mm bridge spacing. Thicker fingerboard and thinner neck for comfort feel, stability and longevity. For purists, EKG position markers are optional
The classic, closed-faced Apeiron 4 and 5 string basses feature a hidden, active EMG pickup, but open faced with hand-wound passive single coils or humbuckers are also an option.
Height adjustable wood bridges offer a unique sound compared to most fretless basses, more akin to an upright bass. Traditional metal bridges are available as an option
Integrated thumbrests, fingerpull cutaway, lightweight and well balanced. Designed for players by a player.
All Apeirons are built with sustainability and the environment in mind. Only locally sourced and/or reclaimed wood is used as well as low VOC, eco-friendly finishes. But there are still options to choose from when designing your own!
