EQUIPMENT
'76 Rickenbacker 4001 Burgandyglo
Some players accuse Rics of lacking in versatility, but I have yet to try a bass that sounds as good on record or live. I'm forever getting compliments about her looks & tone. If I'm only allowed one bass, this is it.
70's Rose Morris Avon
Japanese bass 'inspired' by Gibson's shortscale EB0's & EB3's & sold only from their Denmark St store. Loaded with flatwounds & a single humbucking pickup, she thumps with a Motown/Mod/Disco hybrid sound.
2009 Saint Blues 'King Blues' Bass
Memphis-based St Blues helped us with a few guitars for the 2009 Rich Webb tour. I took one of their PJs & we did some clinics & shows with them. She has grit & punch in equal measure & plays like a charm.
2007 Italia Torino Hollowbody Shortscale
When we were looking for alternative tones during sessions for Rich Webb's 'Beautiful World', Taranaki Guitars (Germany) were kind enough to lend me a few Italia basses. I developed a soft spot for this model.
