Tino Tedesco Basses - Instrumentdesign

 

I sincerely appreciate your interest in TinoTedesco basses!

 

Our efforts in the last couple of years have been directed towards experimenting with neck – body wood combinations, various scales, headstock sizes, overall weight of the instruments, electronics, pickups, fret size and string size. In my honest opinion, I think that with our instruments we have achieved a level of precision, playability, comfort and sound concept that is unseen in other comparable instruments.

We are extremely proud of our 5 string basses in particular as they have a great tonal authority right down to the low B without compromising pitch, clarity and punch. We use only the absolute best quality components to build our instruments and are convinced that, if well cared for, they will last a lifetime.

We have always strived to build a tool for the dedicated musician that makes him or her immediately feel at ease. Our instruments are “ready for work” so to say...

 

For more pictures please check out the gallery!



We offer 4 models, all in 4 string or 5 string versions, the 24 fret model is also available as a 6 string, fretted or fretless!
