Jack playing bass live at the Jazz Bar

Session & live

Bassist

Two decades of playing, always serving the song.

I've played bass across genres for over twenty years, on stages and in studios in the UK, Europe and North America. I play with Edinburgh's Slow Karma and have toured internationally with Sithu Aye.

My job is simple: make your music feel great.

Session & recording

Remote or in-studio

Tracks tailored to your project, from fat grooves to expressive melodies. Expect top-class tones, quick turnaround and clean files.

Because I'm also a producer, I can engineer and produce my own takes if that helps.

"His groove is impeccable, always playing with purpose and feeling that perfectly complements the song. Beyond his skill, Jack is also a joy to collaborate with — professional and easygoing."

Live performance

Gigs, tours & one-off events

Solid, professional low end on stages of all sizes. I read notation and charts, adapt quickly to any setting, and bring energy that audiences and bandmates feel.

"Giving him the freedom to experiment with parts and arrangements gives spontaneity and life to performances during long and often gruelling tours. Jack is an absolute joy to work with and share the stage with."

Collaboration & tone

Co-writing, arranging, and the right sound

I also co-write and arrange bass parts for original music: listening first, then crafting lines that serve the song.

The toolkit runs deep: a handmade MacIntyre 6-string, Fender Precisions, Jazzes, signature models, fretless options, and a range of DI, amp and modelling chains at the studio. Whatever the song needs, I can find the tone.
