AND OUR FRIENDS AT JOONDALUP MUSIC, JOONDALUP, WA
Joe Creighton, internationally acclaimed bass player, singer, songwriter, composer talks about his experiences with his Markbass rig.
Joe's music encompasses many styles from roots, soul, gospel to celtic, ambient, deep groove.
Joe has fronted his own bands and played with many successful Australian bands, such as Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows and Tim Finn’s band, Escapade.He was finally enticed onto the big concert stage by ‘The Voice’, John Farnham, touring nationally with John for 13 years.
In recent years, he has toured internationally with both Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton John.
Joe has also shared the stage with such luminaries as Sir George Martin, on his ‘All You Need Is Love’ tour, playing his Hofner bass and taking lead vocal on some of those great Beatles songs, and with Boz Scaggs on his Australian tour, as well as singing vocal backing as a ‘Raylette’ on tour with the legendary Ray Charles.
A singer songwriter in his own right, Joe released his debut album ‘Holywell’ in 1994, and toured with his own band as support to The Neville Brothers. ‘Holywell’ was received with critical acclaim by the Australian press. Recently the album was re-reviewed as “a buried treasure” in Brisbane’s Courier Mail.
And you know what .... he bought his Markbass products!
Here he shares his opinion(s) ...
"MarkBass have revolutionised bass amplification, at one stage of my career I had to have a small van to transport my bass rig on local gigs, nowadays I arrive at the gig with my bass in one hand and my bass rig in the other."
" My MarkBass Mini CMD 121P is the warmest, punchiest bassamp I have ever had the pleasure of playing through. I just love the tone."
" MarkBass have fitted just about everything they could into this little combo, a great sounding preamp with versatile tonal variations, a resilient punchy neodyne 12" speaker, 500w of power, outrageous volume for the size and only 13kg in weight, ...... now if they just could fit a bar and a bunk bed in there as well...... I think I could live in it!!!"
It's our absolute pleasure to be involved with him and we're looking forward to working more with Joe in the future.
