Bass Magazine (Japan): "Robert Turley (aka RobOnBass aka R.O.B.) is a virtuoso on the bass. An unparalleled performance that will leave you awestruck."

Bass Player Magazine Senior Editor Chris Jisi wrote: "Having interviewed over 125 bassists from Jack Bruce to John Entwistle to Ron Carter and Anthony Jackson, I feel qualified to stress the importance of Robert Turley's artistic developments. The technique he has created to play the 10-string TrebleBass is unique in the music world. In addition, the compositions he writes and performs on the TrebleBass (as heard on his self-produced CD) are a cutting-edge hybrid of jazz, funk, and hip-hop."

Guitar Player Magazine: "Tough, funky and fluent . . . R.O.B.'s original compositions are very unusual and exciting, feature uncanny two-handed independence, and expand the bass's scope."

Bass Frontiers Magazine: "Robert Turley (aka RobOnBass) is a very gifted musician. The album features great cover tunes as well as some outstanding original compositions. Every song is entertaining and strong."

Guitar World Magazine: "A jazz/hip-hop fusion with heavy, funky beats!"
