Meridian Guitars is a handmade bass brand with a workshop in Avezzano, Italy.
The basses made by builder Davide Cardone are stylish and unique, like works of art.
He is particular about using the highest quality wood that has been seasoned for many years.
He maximizes the beauty of the wood and expresses it on the bass without compromising the quality of the tonewood.
His philosophy on wood also applies to hardware, and the best parts are combined from first-class products such as Delano, Bartolini, and HIPSHOT according to the concept of each model.
The Horizon model is a modern bass with a single-cut body.
A masterpiece that combines a beautiful streamlined body, the finest tonewood, and high-quality hardware.
The body back is Bahia Walnut, and the top is LAVA-style Stabilized Walnut Burl.
This style of combining resin and wood well is one of Meridian Guitars' best techniques.
The fingerboard is Secret Wood according to the specs, and since it is not publicly available, we would like to keep it private as well.
The pickups are Bartolini P2 dual coil, and the preamp is John East.
The bridge is Hipshot Style A 19mm, and the tuning machines are Hipshot Ultralite.
It feels very light to play, but the sound is heavy.
The low noise and neat sound image give a strong sense of the high quality of the electronics, and on top of that, the straight and clear character is strongly felt.
It is never bland, but attractive.
Just like the appearance, it is a very elegant and aggressive sound at the same time.
And I would like to mention the strength of the Low B string.
It is like the low range of a piano, with a clear sense of pitch and beautiful overtones. It was a Low B that I wanted to play over and over again.
I have worked with many excellent Italian brands, and Meridian is just as authentic as them. This is the top-class bass brand.
