SON SET BEACH MUSIC

 Bob Reynolds introduction.

Throughout my extensive music career, I have primarily focused on playing the guitar across a wide array of music genres. One particular highlight that stands out to me is the opportunity to record alongside a handful of talented musicians from the renowned Count Basie Orchestra within a professional studio setting. Despite my roots in rock music, I often found myself taking on impromptu gigs that pushed me out of my comfort zone, ultimately contributing to my growth as a versatile artist. This adaptability also served me well in the realm of music production, where my experience as a musician allowed me to lend my guitar skills to nearly half of the records that I had the privilege of producing for various artists.

Son Set Beach Music & Productions

In 2001, during a recording session at the studio, I noticed the scarcity of well-maintained Marshall speaker cabinets. Serendipitously, I crossed paths with a talented artisan specializing in crafting quality speaker cabinets.

Our collaboration marked the inception of Son Set Beach Music's speaker cabinet division.

 Demeter Amplification holds a special place in my journey as a musician, as this is where I crossed paths with James Demeter. This brand is renowned for its top-tier Guitar Amplifiers and Guitar Effects (stompboxes), offerings that stand unparalleled worldwide. James Demeter's expertise in tube technology is nothing short of exceptional, proving him to be a true master in this craft.

Peter L. Jensen dedicated his life to innovation and today's Jensen® musical instrument speakers continue the essence of that innovation. Peter L. Jensen was born in 1886 in Falster, Denmark and came to America in 1909. In 1915, working alongside Edwin Pridham, Peter Jensen developed the "Magnavox", the first loudspeaker. Magnavox speakers were predominantly used for public address systems, famously first used publicly in 1919 to amplify President Woodrow Wilson's speech in San Diego. 
In 1927, Peter Jensen founded Jensen® Radio Manufacturing Company and began producing speakers for both military use and radios. The company later began to produce commercial loudspeakers for public use.
In the mid-1940s Leo Fender developed one of the first guitar amplifiers and chose Jensen® speakers for their excellent tone. Throughout the 1940s, 1950s and most of the 1960s, Fender®, Ampeg®, Gibson® and all the other major amplifier companies used Jensen® musical instrument speakers. Jensen® ceased production of their loudspeakers in the late 1960s.
In the late 1990s, under a licensing agreement, SICA Altoparlanti, an Italian speaker manufacturer, commenced production of the legendary Jensen® speakers. These Jensen® "reissues", after intensive research and analysis, are made to the same specifications as the original Jensen® speakers used by Leo Fender and others. Following the success of these reissues, Jensen® has released new speakers utilizing the same quality design as the original Jensen® speakers, but dedicated to modern music, including speakers in the Jensen® Jet Series.
The Jensen® name is synonymous with classic vintage tone, and is the pioneer in modern state-of-the-art speakers today.

Eventide Audio

During that time, I was at an NAB convention in Las Vegas where I met Mr. Ray Maxwell from Eventide Audio Division. We quickly became friends, and I became an approved seller for Eventide Inc. and Eventide Stompboxes. Their great reputation and amazing sounds are crucial for our audio work and music productions.

Aviation and Pilots

This subject could take a vast amount of space and should be left for another time.

In a synopsis let’s just say I have flown large jets as an airline pilot worldwide and I enjoy instructing people how to fly for 3 decades now.

So with all this, and Made in the USA, I hope to be a part of your music journey. All the people and my family involved with this Son Set Beach program are true believers in truth. Just to know “who do people say I am” is a good start.

Cheers and Blessings,

Bob

Baltic Birch 3/4" wood is used, the best for cabs that one can get. 

Since the beginning, all the recording engineers that have heard our cabs sincerely tell us how good they sound. We like that a lot!
