Craig Skelton Stone Circle

On taking the reigns as Stone Circle’s new bass player, Craig geared up with a spanking new Lakland L55-02 5-String strung with Dean Markley Blue Steel strings and a kick arse Hughes&Kettner bass rig driven by the new QT600 head.

‘The tone on this combination is awesome’, Craig says, ‘It’s like they were made for each other’. Craig recorded all the bass lines on Stone Circle’s upcoming album using this rig. ‘The producer loved it! The Lakland direct to the desk and the rig triple miked and blazing. Thumping tone and incredible clarity across the whole neck.. and I used the whole neck on this album!’

‘I love this rig, I reckon I have the only H&K bass rig like this in WA. Be nice to see more out there but I’m happy being unique for the moment.’

‘I’m also proud to walk in the footsteps of my hero Derek Smalls (Spinal Tap) as a dedicated Lakland player. There is no better bass.’

‘I also want to take the opportunity to thank Gary, Ando and Peter at CMI for the constant and continued support over the years. Couldn’t do it without ya’.
