1. Introduction
Welcome to AER. Thank you for purchasing the
BASSCUBE.
You have chosen a professional, compact and pow-
erful amplifier that was specially developed toam-
plify acoustic and electric bass instruments.
The BASSCUBE unfolds particularly impressive
qualities with the double-bass, whether plucked or
bowed. Although the range of bass tones is huge
and their tone variety is enormous, we think we
have found more than just a "good compromise".
