Introducing our new Callisto bass model, which is born of a need from longtime Carillion artist, @arranmcsporran !
Arran needed a slightly more traditionally styled bass for work outside of his tech-death band commitments, and his remit was something along the lines of "between a P and J bass in shape and style", but obviously done the Carillion way. Bizarrely, I had wanted to design the exact same thing for a few years, but needed someone to commission it to justify the time on R&D. The stars aligned (pun definitely intended) on the whole thing for the both of us! So, here we are!
We are now offering the Callisto as a standard (bass) model in our range, so if you're a bass player and you want something a little spicy, please do get in touch and lets cook up some tasty specs!
