"When I can't take a big custom switching rack on the road; I've always had troubles with varying outputs. Enter the Bassbone - exit the problem. I have found the Bassbone indispensable for my small and medium touring rig. It evens the outputs of bass and Stick, gives me boost capabilities when I need it and holds up solidly through the wear and tear of one nighters. I've just come back from Europe and Russia, where the device held up to the real world of touring, rough treatment and varying voltages. The Bassbone was there doing it's job for me every night - my sound engineer is ecstatic!"

"I needed a flexible unit that allows me to switch instruments quickly between songs and that I can haul to a small gig or TV show without carrying a load of equipment. The Bassbone gets the job done for me!"
~ Fred Mollings

After a four year stint with the Backstreet Boys and four years kicking butt with Britney Spears stage band, Fred's still having tons of fun with his 5-string and synth-basses. Freddie's first influence was Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson 5, whose deft grooves convinced a nine-year old Freddie to play on the bottom four strings of his guitar. His dad’s friend would let him play a beautiful Fender Jazz Bass and Mollings' knew that bass was what he wanted to do. The first song Freddie learned was 'Get Down Tonight' by KC & the Sunshine Band. Now, on tour with Britney, Mollings get's down with up to 70 performances in 60 days, playing in front of 30,000 people per show!
