What's the story with this brand? They look like very high quality instruments at reasonable prices, but I can't find anything about how or where they are made..

The website is a bit sparse, but it looks like they are based out of CA, and have a few familiar faces on the artist page:

Also a few lefty basses on the main page:

https://www.bassmods.com/LEFTY-Purple-F ... _2497.html

https://www.bassmods.com/-Lefty-Cali--S ... _2576.html

They have a Facebook presence, and a small fan page for owners. The way they talk about the builds and the custom options implies they build in the US, but I haven’t seen it stated explicitly..
