This is one of my absolute favorite customs. A 1260 w/3u airhead with authentic tweed fabric covering, and Oxblood with gold strand grille cloth. It wasn't cheap, and it was a pain to do, but it came out so well I was tempted to keep it for myself. Someday!

This is another example of a cabinet designed by our customers. In this case the customer had an amp with Bi-amp capabilities so we used the basic design of the DRB 112 and the DRB 115, put them together and put a slant on the 112. We then chose an 8 ohm Celestion Orange back Neo for the top and the 4 ohm Eminence Neo on the bottom and we were able to get a beautiful full range, thick sounding cab perfect for a nice vintage P, or Jazz bass.

This is another 1260 3u airhead custom. This one was pretty unique. Instead of installing a standard Jackplate on the back of the rear ported cabinet, we hardwired the speaker directly to the power amp, and then we installed a 1u patch
bay on the back with an extension speaker out, Preamp DI out. Then we eventually added a power conditioner and hardwired it directly to a Neutrik "Powercon" power cord. The angle of the tilt back was 45 degrees for use on
a tight stage and we vented the sides of the airhead for better ventilation. This cabinet was also loaded with a Beyma 12LW30/Nd Neo and it sings like a bird. It now resides with our marketing guru Michael Albronda, NJ

This was about our 1,000th attempt at a 4x8 The DRB 480. It was originally designed for a customer in Denver. The 8" Neodymium drivers were custom made for Dr. Bass by a group of former JBL and EV designers. They weighed in at 2.3 pounds each, with a freq. response of 45hz to 3.5khz. We were going to offer it as a standard product, but until recently, we haven't had enough interest in it. It is soon to be available on a "per request" basis.

This is a custom 312. The customer had a well known 310 that just didn't give him enough low end beef, so we came up with this design. It was pretty wide, but not that bad and the results were pretty stout. He was specific about having an 8 ohm cabinet, so we used 2-8 ohm drivers in series, and one 16 in parallel and we made it for him. He was happy and so were we!

"Dr. Bass: Built like a tank"
This is by far one of the coolest pictures ever sent to us. He wanted a rig with a small footprint for his Markbass head, so we decided on a 1060 and 112. The woofers are Beyma SM series, and this little rig puts out some big sound. He also works at a tank refurbishing plant. I just want to know one thing: How does he fit that camo amp stand on stage?

This owner of this rig purchased it used and the original owner tried to rewire the crossover unsucessfully, so the new owner sent it back to us to bring it back up to specs. After receiving the rig he sent us this email:

You've seen this one "The Manhattan Special". This cab was designed for Bassplayerlive 07'. A 1060/110LF All with Beyma G40 series drivers and mid with the
Beyma CP-22 Tweeter. Monster sound that fits in the trunk of a compact car.
Purchased at BPL by M. Landy NYC of Atlantic Records

This turned out to be a very cool cabinet. It is a 212LF Neo. Which is basically 2-112LF's in one cabinet. Using our standard custom Neo's it handled full range without any problems. This is one that was a collaboration with the customer, as is so many of our cabs.
This Cabinet was handcrafted for :
P. Clarke of Katy, TX
