Members slapthefunkyfour Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 My goth band was offered an endorsement deal with Basson. We are not sure what this entails yet, but I've never seen one, or even heard of them. I searched a little through the forum, and found a little info, but I'd like more input from ya'll. That is it.

Members Fran da Man Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 If i'm not mistaken, isn't this one of the companies that got half way pulverized by HCBF a few years ago; them along with Madison cabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hm. I've heard good things about them. See if you can try one out. At the very least, it means free cabs. Which is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 I've never met a goth kid that could lift a 180lb box, so I hope your bandmates all look like Peter Steele, or else you'll all be in for hernia operations after the first gig with the Basson. I've heard they sound good, though... C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Not at all. What would the point be of offering something to someone that's already doing what you want them to do? If they had a full backline of Basson gear already, there would be no motivation to offer them anything. I'd go as far as switching my entire rig to Ampeg if they gave me the gear for free then paid me to use it. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lumpy555 Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 last winter i talked to i think his name was jon,i really dont remember from basson, i left them a message about their cabs, and he is really good friends with victor basson the dude who invented the basson cabs,long story short he really wanted a guy in ohio to use,promote their cabs,evan talked me almost in being like a rep,but i kinda backed off, also he was gonna give me the cabs at a TRMENDOUS DISCOUNT! i told him of the local music scene in and around TOLEDO,OHIO, i think that kinda sparked his interest as he wanted to get the cabs exposure ? anyways the cabs sure look beefy... piece! lumpy!!!
