Will Lee       www.willlee.com
(Letterman Show band, Billy Joel, Donald Fagan,George Benson, Bob James, Dave Matthews, Spyro Gyra)
"Radial has made it simple for us musicians who don't necessarily want to become 'on-the-gig programmers'. Whether I'm in the studio or playing live, I'm never without my Bassbone!"
Victor Wooten       www.victorwooten.com
(Flectones, Soul Circus, Bass Extremes, 3-time winner - Bass Player of the Year)
"The Bassbone works great in the studio or on the live stage. Throw it in your gig bag and take it wherever you go."
Tony Levin       www.tonylevin.com
(Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Mark Knopfler, John Lennon, Paul Simon)
"I have found that with the Radial JDI direct box, my bass comes through extremely clean, very quiet, and with a smooth transparent low end. I use my Radial DI for everything."
Steve Baily       www.stevebaileybass.com
(Victor Wooten, Bass Extreemes, Willie Nelson, Jethro Tull, The Rippingtons)
"The Bassbone is extremely versatile: The two inputs let me drive active and passive basses, theres a simple, effective EQ—it reminds me of my favourite Ampeg SVT amp— and the adjustable boost is great for solos. I can also send the house a different EQ than what I've set up on stage... very handy! My Bassbone lives in my gig bag...it's a very portable 'DI-preamp' I can have faith in."
Roscoe Beck       www.roscoebeck.com
(Leonard Cohen, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Jennifer Warnes, Dixie Chicks)
"Since I discovered the Radial JDV active direct box, I've used nothing else. My direct bass sound has improved dramatically. Live, I use the Radial Bassbone."
Ric Fierabracci       www.ricfierabracci.com
(Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, Andy Summers)

"Yeah man, you are preaching to the choir when it comes to the Radial JDI. I love this thing. I'm in Europe right now touring with Billy Cobham and I always get compliments about my sound from the engineers etc. Thanks again Radial!"

Paul Bushnell       Paul's www.MySpace page
(Faith Hill, Tim Mcgraw, Ednaswap, Shakira, Daughtry, Elton John, Phil Collins, Sugarland, LL Cool J, Tracy Chapman, Luciano Pavarotti)
"On sessions in the past, when I was asked 'Do you have a DI with you?' my answer used to always be 'use whatever you've got.' Now, I say 'no thanks' because I use the Radial JDV direct box on everything I do!"
Nathan East      www.nathaneast.com
(Eric Clapton, Fourplay, Toni Braxton, Lionel Richie, Phil Collins)
"The Bassbone is just what I have been looking for...I can maintain the integrity of two instruments on stage or in the studio with control over the balance and keep my high standards for my low notes!"
Mark Egan      http://www.markegan.com
(Pat Mehteny, Sting, Bill Evans, Joan OsboMarianne Faithfulrne)
"When I tried the Radial JDV, my bass sounded better than I had ever heard it sound. It came to life, natural, pure and with plenty of level."
Justin Meldal-Johnson   www.justinmj.com
(Beck, Ima Robot, Air, Garbage, Tori Amos, Black Eyed Peas, Marcy Grey)
"This is the DI (Radial JDV) I've been looking for - clean, round, pure bass tone, with no fuss whatsoever. Exquisite build quality, yet is highly portable - probably the only high-end DI that will fit into my gig bags. Nice job, Radial!"
John Patitucci      www.johnpatitucci.com
(Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, 2 Grammy awards - 9 nominations)
"The Radial Bassbone gives me 2 channels so i can use my electric and acoustic basses while using only one channel on my amp. Finally, my sound gets sent to the PA system by a clean, built-in DI that sounds consistently great!"
Jimmy Haslip       www.jimmyhaslip.com
(John Scofield, Robben Ford, Donald Fagan, Yellowjackets)
"Radial gives you the natural sound you only get with a very high quality box!"
Fred Mollings      
(Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys)
"I had the chance to try the top 2 pieces: the SansAmp and the Bassbone and while I don't knock on the SansAmp, I need a flexible unit that allows me to switch instruments quickly in between songs and be small enough to haul to small gigs or TV shows. The Bassbone gets the job done for me."
Dave Larue       www.davelarue.com
(Dixie Dregs, Joe Satriani)
"The Radial DI's have become a staple in my studio and in my live rig. The units sound great, and I love the versatility they afford me in any situation."
Danny Miranda       www.queenpluspaulrodgers.com/
(Queen - Paul Rogers, Blue Öyster Cult)
"This is the missing link in my signal chain! I can now balance the level
and tone for both of my vintage P- Basses ! Seemless switching between my '63 and '73 basses. The quality of the DI is amazing! Well done guys!"
Chuck Rainey       www.chuckrainey.com
(Miles Davis, Steely Dan, Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin)
"The Bassbone is great and I use it constantly. It lets me EQ the highs for the right slap and rounds out the low end to give me a deep rich tone. With my Bassbone I get the sound I want sent to the PA the way I like it."
Billy Sheehan      www.billysheehan.com
(Steve Vai, Mr. Big, Guitar Player magazine 'best rock bass player' 5 times)
"My Radial JDV direct box is crystal clear and easily configures to the most elaborate set-ups. I love it and use it every day!"
Benny Rietveld       http://www.bennyworld.com
(Santana, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker)
"I have to say - this is one fabulous little gizmo! I've been using it
here in my studio, working on a film score. Nice sound, versatile... I can be "modern" or a little edgy, dirty and even woofy! Unless I want a specific amp sound or some effects, I'm not even using any amp simulators - just straight from the 'bone to ProTools! It's been working great on guitar too, by the way. Well done!"
Al Caldwell       www.tbhillbilly.com
(Vanessa Williams, Chuck Rainey)
"The Radial Switchbone completes my tone. I use it with my 9 string basses. I even use it on my banjo! It's the missing link! I'm recording Vanessa's new Love Song album in 2 weeks. I'm on 5 tracks and Will Lee is on 5 songs. I'll record all my parts through the tonebone."
Alain Caron       www.alaincaron.com
(UZEB, Mike Stern, Gino Vanelli, Billy Cobham)
"The Radial JDV doesn't change the color of my bass. It retains the instrument's natural character."
