USER REVIEWS & CREDITS

• André Berry (David Sanborn, The Brothers Johnson (since the passing of ), , , , Jeff Golub, , , , Warren Hill, Earl Klugh, Jeffrey Osbourne, and so many more…)

“When you get behind the wheel of a Ferrari and step on the gas, you quickly realize what you’ve been missing out on….So it is with Wayne Jones Amps. I couldn’t believe how much beef and clarity I’d had been missing out on…” “These amps are just light years beyond what anyone else is doing!” www.andreberry.net

• André Berry with David Sanborn @ Blue Note / Japan David Sanborn’s world renowned engineer never even had André Berry in the mix at the Blue Note in Nagoya Japan. (André uses 2 WJ Powered 2x10 cabs & a WJBP pre amp.) His comment was they were so flat he didn’t need to have André in the mix in that size room. At the Blue Note Tokyo he only had a little in the mix.

David Sanborn was astounded but what a difference it made for him with Endorsee André Berry using them. In a passing comment he said would like every bass player that plays with him to have a WJ Bass rig! David now owns a WJ 2x10 and a WJBP Pre-amp for his home studio.

Blue Note Tokyo now has them as their house rig & they are also due for delivery to other Blue Note Clubs around the world.
