Aaron Bellamy

[BigBeatNut]

... loving his tone and groove on Sam Kininger's album "Anthem" ... growly, funky.

Would love to know what bass he uses. Can anyone ID either of these for me ?

Glad to see that someone's noticing Aaron! Easily one of the best players in the Boston area and a really friendly guy to boot!

I saw the entire photo album of the Volvo event in the 2nd photo you posted and that 5-string is a Ristola, I'm 100% sure of that. here's a better photo of the bass:

And a link to Ristola's site:
Ristola Instruments - Electric Basses, Custom, Exotic, Professional

I first found out about Ristola thru a friend of mine who bought one off Nate Edgar(bassist for John Brown's Body) a few years ago.

If I bump into him again (and hopefully I will!) I'll ask him what the other bass is. He's got a MySpace, so if you're really interested about the 1st one you may want to try asking him there.

Thanks for the info, DG.

Yeah, he's a fine player ... surprised it's just you and me in this thread
