He used to import Basson gear when he had The Bass Merchant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Ped and I tried them out a while back. Monstrous, raw sound, squarely aimed at metal and rock players. I wish I'd had my V8 back then, it would have been a murderous set up. We thought they were extremely heavy but thats because they use huge magnets in the drivers.

xilddx Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The guy is a bit of a hero I believe, his stuff is mighty. Been doing it for years and years. I think he used to make PAs in LA or something, back in the '70s. I've got a review at home somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
