What about them?


Naming one of your bassist-targeted products "Dr. Bass" seems like a bad marketing idea.

Baldera pedals are handmade boutique pedals made here in the dominican republic. I have no experience with them but I've heard good things about them from my fellow bass players and countrymen. I agree Dr. Bass is the worst name they could have come up with, because of all the issues with marc serio. Bad coincidence. Anyways I need to try and get my hands on one of these and let you know. Theres a few guys messing around building pedals down here. Adam from CoPilot FX is one of them. Good stuff I suggest you check him out.

Definitely change the name. Bad karma and it's a trademark infringement at the same time. Serio could sue and would easily win.

Definitely DEFINITELY change the name. On principle. I'm trying to convince my physician to stop calling himself 'Dr.' for the same reasons.

+1, this seems like a weak, lame attempt at marketing.

True, although we keep commenting on it so it has SOME merit.

But again, there's no web address to keep bumping so it's another fail.
