I read in Leo's book that he actually wanted to make an electric cello but Jason convinced him that the bass was a better idea.

I had an issue with some tuners, and Jason took care of it. Great customer service, and the best place to buy strings!
Thanks for the positive words!He's a good guy for sure. Congrats to him on his success. He really is a joy to work with.
For anyone interested, my experience with Marko at Hammersmith has been similar. I have yet to receive the bass (not that it's late....I just placed the order) so quality is yet to be determined. Based on reviews I am confident about that as well. But dealing with the man himself has been pretty much fun so far. When is the last time you had FUN spending money?
So, when it's all said and done I will be rocking a bass from a good guy with strings from a good guy through amps I bought from good guys here at TB and running my signal through an isolation transformer I just got from out own @agedhorse .....also a good guy.
Yay for good guys and bass gear!
I'll chime in with my own regarding BSO, as I have gone to them for some product on several occasions. Jason went the extra mile for me when we were getting ready for NAMM, and more recently when I had problems getting my OEM accounts set up with certain companies (due to dealing through 3rd parties because I'm in Canada) and I made the purchases through BSO instead. If I'm forced to go through a 3rd party, I'd rather support someone like Jason over some big name distributor who feels entitled to the business and tried to over charge me, or doesn't even respond until I get the manufacturer to call them on behalf and start the ball rolling.
I have no issue referring anyone to Jason and look forward to ongoing dealings as friendly companies in the bass world.

I've had multiple experiences where he's gone above and beyond. Highly recommended!
The only place to buy, even in Europe, unless you want european strings directly from the factory or small shop where they make them!

He got me into Fodera strings and was dead on correct in his suggestions. Definitely knows his strings.
Just put in another order.
Fantastic service as usual!
Still cheaper with shipping and currency exchange than buying in Canada.

I heard that one time Jason at Bass Strings Online was bitten by a cobra, and after three agonizing days... the cobra died.
That's ridiculous, who told you that nonsense? It was an Eastern Diamondback! I can't believe how these true stories get so twisted!
I also heard that Jason wears sunglasses so that his eyes won't hurt the sun.

I heard these pictures are the origin of the term "drop the bass".
These pictures are photographic proof that Jason is a supernatural entity. How else could you explain his rock-bottom prices?!!
