I started out on a P, and worked my way ‘up’ to modern sounding active basses from the likes of Pedulla, Vigier, Smith etc. then I came back down again via a Stingray and jazz to a P again, then back up to a point where I’m happy to own a range of instruments and enjoy what they all do individually. I like the idea of having ‘my’ bass and a unique signature but more often I’m realising it just depends on my mood. Currently I’m playing only my Mustang, but in a month I’ll be gagging for some Stingray, then I’ll probably spend some weeks on a J. Each time it’s like discovering a new instrument and helps inspire me to play.
