Bassart Guitars
The boutique brand started it's official way in 1996 in Braunschweig, Germany. Matthias originally opened his shop as a bass-only one, where he built a small amount of bass guitars per year. As the years went by his bass guitars received recognition among local players which brought the demand to Bassart made electric 6 string guitars. Much like the bass guitars by Bassart, the electric ones have unique yet familiar designs.
Matthias strives for good tone, and that is what leads him. His guitars and basses often look as they sound, which is a great additional value to an instrument.
What a cool cat sounds like. Bassart guitars is a one man show, run by the German luthier Mathias Meyer. The perfect composition of playability, uniqueness and down-to-earth approach of Matthias make Bassart guitars great instruments. The D CAT Custom Deluxe is beautifully made, from the second we took it out of the case and till the moment we finished the demos this guitar did not go out of tune which is rare. It is a heavy guitar with a healthy sustain and full sound. The combination of the Khaya body and the Häussel Humbuckers is making this guitar a great rock guitar. It has guts, yet it's subtle.Playability wise the guitar is ready to rock and rock hard. The neck is fast and it is really easy to play just about anything you'd like to play. One must take into account though, the Bassart D CAT Custom Deluxe is not a lightweight guitar! But that's where the tone is...
True grit. Bassart guitars is a one man show, run by the German luthier Mathias Meyer. The perfect composition of playability, uniqueness and down-to-earth approach of Matthias make Bassart guitars great instruments. The Roaddog is all the way, Malcolm Young kind of guitar (only with a tremolo). It is dry and has a great attack which come really handy when playing rhythm. You will not get endless sustain from the Roaddog, it is not that kind of a guitar.It is a mid weight guitar with a two action truss, matt finish and two Gretsch Filtertron pickups. The Roaddog is a great example of how a guitar can appear down to earth without being too fancy, yet play and sound top notch. It is that kind of a guitar you will wanna take on the stage, on the road and never put back in the case.
