BASSes
1984 Fender Fullerton Precision
With Dimarzio Relentless Pick Ups and Gold hipshot
The workhorse of my bass collection, I purchased this bass when I was 17 years old off Ebay. When I got it, the trus rod on the neck was broken initially and needed to be replaced with a brand new neck.
Fender provided me with a brand new all American neck and their famous tradmark label with serial number to place on the headstock. Later on the bass has been modified with gold Dimarzio Relentless Pick ups which were gifted to me by Bass Legend Billy Sheehan (David Lee Roth/Winery Dogs/Sons of Apollo) for me to try out. Although I did try out the first prototypes back at the NAMM show in 2020.
It's Olympic white finish, reflective pickguard and golden hardware gives it that unique and rich aesthetic. This makes it the diamond of her ever expanding collection.
Rickenbacker 4003 Snow glow bass
Custom paint and specialist job by Rickysounds UK
This rare ricky orginally was black in color when I first got it and the hardware was rusted due to it being left in someones damp garage. I took it to a man called Robby Bryan of Rickysounds UK a company which specialises in fixing Rickenbacker guitars and brags one the largest inventory of spare parts for Rickenbackers in the world. The bass got a complete make over and a unique look with an extremley rare color known as the Snow Glow.
This bass guitar turns heads wherever I go.
Fender American Deluxe 5 string
Olympic White with passive and active switch
With it's addtional string, passive and active components and tonal range, this bass guitar has been the best choice for when I'm doing a range of different music styles and is my go to for function shows and music residencies. If there is a repertoire of songs that needs to be done, the American Deluxe delivers.
Fender 60's Reissue (Made IN JAPAN)
with Dimarzio Relentless J Pick ups
Made in Japan Traditional series was derived by fusing Fender's traditional instrument-making aesthetics with sophisticated Japanese craftsmanship This makes this bass special in my armory due to the tones it provides for key techniques such as slap bass. When adding more treble and changing to pick style the tone cuts through like a knife but never loses it's warmth, plus the addition to the Dimarzio Relentless J pick ups gives it's beastly but beautiful growl when you add the mids. Go from Funky to Punky with this baby.
