“This thing fucking RIPS – me after playing my S/B for the first time.
I’m so overwhelmingly proud to work with these guys in such a supportive and jovial environment where they understand my vision as much as I understand their ambition. I remember talking to Pascal as he described his belief in providing an authentic submission to the bass instrument world with the S/B line – his conviction and sincerity sold me instantly. The S/B is formidably detailed, clear, with low-mid aggression and a deep and controlled sub range that suits me perfectly, bridging elements of Warwick Thumbs, with Dingwall Combustions, and Stingray vibes under one package – with so many influences it just becomes a truly unique and individual entity. The game changer is having an instrument with build quality more stable and consistent than me…”
