"Bassmagazine March 2002 (interview) "Since January 2002 guitar builder Jasper Boerma has enough space to run his company Aspe Guitars. In the north of Arnhem he found a former store building. There he has the opportunity to do what he likes most: building, repairing, tuning and customizing guitars. Jasper has a great sense of humour, but when it comes to building high quality (bass) guitars, he is a very serious and conscientious man!"

     Repetition of TV show where Aspe Guitars was a guest. Januari 2002

    Gitaarplus (Dutch magazine) December 2001 (test) :

"The ASPE Basic humbucker is a guitar which is composed with the best types of wood. And that's visible! The wonderfull red glow doesn't hide the beautiful nirves from the body. The guitar has a good balance and fits great at your lap. The weight is perfect, not to heavy and not to light. The stable neck is a glued in the body construction." You directly feel the whole guitar is one. The position of the knobs, the frets and the head/neck are perfectly fixed.Once the guitar is on your lap, you'll directly get a sound impression.
Beware: it is acoustic. The sound vibes through, and won't put out of range. The whole instrument is vibrating! Once connected you'll get a great kick! The cutting sound of the bridge pick-up is perfect for playing solo guitar. From clean to picking, fingerpicking country and a little bit of crunch, a very nice listening blues sound. The neck element sound is unique. Principally the overdrive, which is really exciting! Builder Jasper Boerma shows with this basic model professional sound quality combining a terrific sound. And that's not exaggerated! "

     Musicmaker april 2000 (test) :

"The sound from the ASPE bass is traditional, but perfect. No rising sound, but one which is really good and continuous. Very warm, nice, deep and smooth, with a little percussion touch. The sound's high, round and rich. A real good and special bass guitar with a classical look and excellent sound for such a low price!"
