Hi everyone,
I can honestly recommend Jespers amplifiers. I tried the “hugo”, an amplifier he designed for Hugo Rasmussen with just bass and treble controls, a tone switch and a phase switch, one 10″ speaker, 500W, a mute switch and an effects loop. It weighs 7,9 kilos and is the most portable, yet most amazingly natural sounding amp I´ve ever used. I´ve tried it on his bass with a Realist pickup, and quite extensively on my own bass with a Schertler dyn-b. That pickup with this amp is a great combination.
The amps are built whenever he gets an order, so he offers to fulfill wishes (e.g. when it comes to eq frequencies).
So, whenever you´re in Copenhagen, give those amps a try and be honestly amazed!
