The Story
This week we have two basses of the week, although they are the mirror reflection of each other. Hayden Lassila of Lassila Guitars calls the model the Antipode. With one right-handed and one left-handed version, the bass lives up to its name.
Both feature a multi-scale neck that has gone from a 37-inch B-string to a 34-inch G string. They’re constructed with a neck-through design including a carbon fiber reinforced five-piece neck of Black Limba, Padauk, and Birdseye maple. The body wings are black walnut while the top is a captivating piece of rippled ash with a periwinkle purple stain. For electronics, Lassila fits the Antipode basses with a set of Nordstrand Zen Blades and passive electronics.
