 Quotes about
The Messenger™ Upright Electric Bass:

 
“The DLX boasts usable sounds all along the pickup-blend spectrum, from an audacious Ron Carter growl to a mellow but well-defined Ray Brown boom. ... The DLX's look and feel are irresistible, and its overall performance is rewarding. . . . With a price in the low-mid pack among electric uprights, the Messenger is a good choice for acoustic whompers looking for travel ease or electricians delving into the upright world.”

Richard Johnston, Bass Player magazine, April '98


“If I didn't already have an acoustic upright, the Messenger would probably be my choice, due to its craftsmanship and appearance. ... The electronics do a good job of amplifying the instrument, providing a nice, punchy, notably superior pizz sound.”
Bob McCaskey, Bass Player magazine, April '98
