All about that bass.
I'm a seasoned bass guitar player, stepping in to hold down the low end for a range of different bands, either as a dep or on individual projects.
I regularly play all across Scotland, and I've played with some of the best function bands in Scotland. I may be biased. But the do literally pay me.
Need vocals too? I can cover lead or backing vocals as needed.
Music gear
If you're going to hire me, you'll want to know what you're gonna get. Well, besides me.
Basses
The Jazz
My go-to bass is a classic wine coloured Longhorn '98 Jazz 4 string. She's got a couple of tricks up her sleeve with a Hipshot drop-D tuner and active electronics. Whatever your style, we'll fit right in.
The Tok
Fancy a bit of Pino in your party, or a bit of Jaco in your Jam? We can lose the frets. She sings like a bird, with all the 'mwaaaah' you can ask for.
She's not a Tokai. But she's near enough to my old partner in crime that the name fits.
Amps & effects
The Thunderbox
I first fell in love with Ashdown when they first arrived in the late 90s. I still love them now. Gorgeous sound that pairs beautifully with my basses.
I play through a 500W EVO III head with 1x15 and 4x8 cabs. Small but mighty.
The Stomp
Most gigs I do, the sound tech (and my back) prefer a silent stage. So I bring the Helix Stomp with me. It can make The Jazz sing like a nightingale or snarl like a wolf.
I tend to go easy on the effects and concentrate on tone, but if you want to go 'there' it'll take us.
