Apeiron Bass: Reinventing The Low End

Years In The Making

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.

apei·​ron (əˈpīˌrän) N: the unlimited, indeterminate, and indefinite ground, origin, or primal principle of all matter.

Active Or Passive Electronics

The closed-faced Apeiron basses feature a hidden, active  EMG pickup, but open faced with hand-wound passive single coils or humbucker pickups are also an option.

Adjustable Wood Or Metal Bridges

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 and with fretted versions.

Eco-Friendly Fit & Finish

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!
