    Double Bass Blast Cult basses

    Hi, I have dealt with Jason to buy one of the new Blast Cult pickups and I have found it a very good experience. The Channel Blaster pickup system is a very good. It consists of the usual rockabilly formula of one pickup for the wing bridge + one pickup for the fingerboard. Sonically these...

    Puzzled about this amp combination...
