Bass player Mattéo Casati

  • Playing mainly rock and pop as I do, the PB80 RA model is more than a must!

    In the PB80 RA I have discovered a reliable, versatile, warm instrument.

    The finish is superb. For me it is THE reference for a first instrument and a long time after. It is the starting point of a bass-player's career.

    The only mystery about this bass is the price! Amazing for this comfortable neck and tremendous pickups. The first time I played it, I though they were pulling my leg! The price is just incredible!

    PRODIPE GUITARS are for me.

    A brand with a different approach, but a brand which will delight a huge number of bass-players. These instruments really sound fantastic...
