"My Kimmel bass not only attracts attention because of its crisp, clear high end and warm, round, sensitive low end; but also also as a wonderful piece of art. To say I am happy with my Kimmel would be a whopping understatement, I am constantly overwhelmed by its performance."

"Seth knocked one out of the park again.... I've played hundreds of fine basses and this bass rivals the finest. It sounds and plays like it's been around for over 150 years."​
