Dr. Bass???

Search doesn't pick up two letter words like Dr.

You can try "doctor bass" as some mods have changed thread titles to make it searchable this way.

The summary is that the gear is for the most part very good sounding and very reasonably priced, but that buying new is a bit of a lucky dip as they've had some serious failures at delivering in a timely manner. I love my Dr Bass gear. If you're buying 2nd hand, go for it, if new, probably best to wait til one of these threads starts filling up with people posting that the delivery timeframes are now reasonable and consistent. I waited 14 months.
 
I can't believe he still has a website up, taking unsuspecting players money and delivery only a sporadic few.

There are no refunds, as many others will attest to.
 
I've heard nothing but great things about the Dr.Bass Cabs, the business on the other hand, not so many great things...

If you buy used, off of the classifieds, I think you will be very happy, but please DO NOT buy from the company. Too many people have been ripped off, and he doesn't deserve any more money.
 
First off, His cabs are really not all that(I've had three). Second you really can't trust him to deliver anything. He will take your order but delivering your order is another thing entirely.

If your looking for a cab builder, look up Low Down Sound. Don is the best!
