“For me, the Genzler gear gives all the articulation, versatility, warmth, depth, punch, and inspiration that brings my music to a higher level. With my myriad of basses and performance situations, I find a use for ALL of the Bass Array cab series, the Magellan 800 amp, as well as the Acoustic Array Pro combo.” – Dan Robbins
