Rich - the "Bassman"

​

Rich is the “Bassman” of the outfit and hails from the shadow of “the Stones” which explains a lot!  Rich also goes by the nickname “Mr 80’s” as he becomes all misty eyed whenever he spies a mullet or hears a good ‘ol tune from way back when!

​

Rich has played in many bands over the years, and has changed his gear more times than the cast of a Broadway musical in the search for that elusive bass “sound”. He cites his influences as greats such as John Entwhistle, Bernard Edwards, Billy Sheehan, Sting & John Taylor to name but a few.

​

At the moment, Rich is playing the following gear:

​

• Yamaha Attitude II & Fender Precision Bass

• Markbass Amp

• Barefaced Bass Cabinets

• Pedals, various
