Who here has received their new DRB cab recently? Did Marc make good on his outstanding issues in your eyes?
This thread is for DRB owners keep your bashing down to a minimum unless you own one.

|  | Fan of the New Orleans Saints | | | | | hmm...
i bought mine used (in like new condition) and have owned both a 212 and a 115 (sold the 115).
both are great cabs and i'd love to see that he got his business back going and did the right thing.

I have worked for bad companies before, as we all have, and it's hard to advertise for a company you know is bad.
So, there is one locally I've had my eye on, though ! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Seattle, WA | | | I think the more important question here is, what are Marc's plans to make good on all of the existing orders that have been placed with him, and more specifically the funds that he's received and seemingly done nothing with in terms of getting a finished product to the people who put money towards said product?
I sincerely hope he's working to make the situation right.

You have been warned.

I'm not here to bash Dr. Bass cabs -- I've heard they are good. But given his history, it would be utterly foolish (at best!) to put money down on one. There are LOTS of great cabs available from honest and reliable manufacturers. |

This isn't bashing: I've never played one, nor will I ever, but if you have any question as to whether an order with him is a good idea, READ THE MEGATHREAD.
There's just no question.

|  | Less barking, more wagging! | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: San Diego, CA | | | I'm one of the lucky buyers who purchased cabs from Dr. Bass at a reasonable price, and received them in a timely manner; this was several years ago, just before Marc's dealings became toxic.
I've been extremely satisfied with one of the cabs (2240 -> 2460), and find the other functional, but less than fully satisfying (1580).
That said, I've removed the Dr. Bass insignia from my cabinets, as I feel it would be irresponsible of me to suggest, even tacitly, that someone order a new cab that may never be delivered.
Caveat emptor! |

However even tho I dont look at amps , never read about them and never go into the amps sub-forum on here I have heard horrible things about Dr bass and would never buy from them due to that.
Why is this not in the amps section? |

Well at least He didn't change His name. Anyone who has spent time on this forum in the last two years knows not to do business with Dr. Crook, oops I meant Dr. Bass. |

We know exactly how this goes. He sends out a small handful of cabs, gets the hopes up for people who have waited for years, scores some new orders then goes back to the screwin'.
