What began as one player’s quest for more inspiring instruments has grown into a brand that influences musicians around the world.
Founded in 1997 by musician and designer Matt Eichen, Musicvox quickly gained a reputation for its retro-futuristic industrial styling and groundbreaking 12-string bass engineering.
Musicvox was born out of Eichen’s lifelong passion for music, vintage innovation, and the iconic industrial design of the 20th century. Unsatisfied with the limited options available in guitars and basses, he set out to create instruments that combined professional performance with bold, unmistakable character. The result: high-quality tools for musicians who want tone, playability, and style without compromise.
Over the years, Musicvox’s distinctive shapes, colors, and materials have helped spark a renewed interest in flamboyant vintage and space-age aesthetics across the guitar industry. Our designs have raised the bar for electric guitar and bass construction, inspiring musicians and collectors seeking instruments with true personality.
Musicvox has also made major contributions to super-octave bass engineering, applying advanced research and construction techniques to develop instruments with exceptional tone, identity, and reliability. These innovations continue to influence how modern extended-range basses are built and performed on.
Early on, Musicvox pioneered an exclusive direct-to-customer approach—offering worldwide shipping, personalized service, and premium instruments that have shown exceptional aftermarket value. That commitment to boutique manufacturing remains at the heart of the company today. By producing limited, numbered runs, Musicvox maintains an intense focus on quality and craftsmanship, resulting in instruments sought after by collectors and working professionals alike.
Our dedication extends far beyond the instruments themselves. Musicvox is renowned for its customer interaction and support, fostering a loyal community that values authenticity, creativity, and the personal attention that has defined the company from the start.
Now in its 28th year, Musicvox stands as a testament to innovation, passion, and customer-focused design. From humble beginnings to global influence, Musicvox continues to push the boundaries of instrument style, engineering, and service—and will do so for decades to come.
