NO AVERAGE JOE
Joe Osborn - case can be made that Joe Osborn is the premier studio bassist of all time. Here's the evidence ... Joe played on: Travelin' Man, This Diamond Ring, Eve Of Destruction, Monday Monday, Poor Side of Town, Windy, Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In, Wedding Bell Blues, Dizzy, (They Long To Be) Close to You, Cracklin' Rosie, I Think I Love You, Bridge Over Troubled Water, I Am Woman, Top of The World, Delta Dawn, Billy Don't Be a Hero, Please Mr. Postman . And those are just the pop/rock #1 hits!
What Joe has done on the electric bass is nothing short of staggering. The list of artists with whom he has worked reads like a "Who's Who" of popular music, and includes: The Mamas and the Papas, Johnny Rivers, Rick Nelson, Simon and Garfunkel, The Carpenters, The Fifth Dimension, Glen Campbell, The Association, Neil Young, and America to name a few. Joe holds four Hat Awards from The Academy of Country Music, was the recipient of Bass Player Magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award, and his list of Billboard hits runs as long as a country mile.
JOE COMES HOME
Joe Osborn played his original 1960 bass on more than 200 Top 40 pop singles and over 400 Top 40 country singles before he decided to set his vintage axe aside to give it some R&R. The '60 gave Joe a tone and playability that no other bass was able to match ... until now! Our collaboration with one of the music industry's most influential electric bass players yielded a masterpiece of simplicity and usability.
JAZZED
With Joe, we labored over the design of this instrument to combine the leading edge of '60's technology (the slim neck and narrow nut, the offset-body balancing, and concentric control knobs) and applied today's leading edge technology (graphite reinforcement, enhanced neck joint, passive pickups by Lakland) to create a contemporary classic.
MORE DEFINITION THAN A DICTIONARY!
The bottom line on Joe Osborn: Joe has recorded with The Mamas and Papas, Simon and Garfunkel, The Carpenters, America and Rick Nelson, to name only a few.
