I was introduced to Roger Sadowsky when I arrived in New York to begin my tenure with Miles Davis. He did some repairs on my '66 Fender Jazz Bass. Soon after, I purchased my first Sadowsky J-style bass. Whenever I plugged in my Sadowsky the studio engineer or front-of-the-house mixer would say, "Great sounding bass!" That's why Roger is the man!

There are many other important and influential basses. Jack Casady's Epiphone bass is amazing for reggae, among other things. I used mine on a Ziggy Marley session and the sound put me in mind of a cross between Aston "Family Man" Barrett and James Jamerson.

I’m using chambered instruments on this tour much more than before. The F.B. bass by Fritz Brothers guitars and the Gretsch Electrotone G6073. These are great for things like Paint It Black,The Back Of My Hand and Ruby Tuesday and Angie respectively.
