Jamie Mallender
Tony Martin Band
"I've
been searching for a fretless bass that lived up to
my impossible standards for 25 years. The Vintage JP96MRJP
is that bass."
– Jamie
A well-respected session bassist, Jamie has played for
former Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin since 2005,
as well as a number of other projects in the UK and
Europe. Tony Martin was the longest serving vocalist
for the 4 piece metal pioneers, before their reformation
with original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.
Having just got back from a tour of Scandinavia with
the Tony Martin band, Jamie found himself trying out,
and falling in love with the Trev Wilkinson designed
Fret-King instruments, in particular the Blue Label
Series Perception and the brand new Ventura 80 bass
guitars. “I only ever put my name to gear that
I honestly believe in and use myself, and these are
amazing - normally I use nothing but active basses,
but Trev has hit exactly the right blend of traditional
and modern with these designs, and with no compromise
on tone or performance, at a price that is with the
reach of just about anyone.”
In addition to being on call with Tony Martin and other
bands, Jamie does a lot of teaching in South Yorkshire
and and has recently released his solo instrumental
album entitled "Return To Bass" available
on iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon, which has received much
critical acclaim.
