Terry Grant from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and his Waterstone 12-string bass

 

 

Terry has played music professionally for 23 years. He once owned a 1987 Hamer B8S 8-string bass but vowed one day to "pee with the big dogs". Terry finally realized his dream with the purchase of a black Waterstone 12. His influences are Tom Petersson, Doug Pinnick and a really good mousse.

 

Terry on stage with The Naughty Divas

Terry plays in two bands: Classic rock covers in The Naughty Divas, and blues rock originals in the band Laker. He does a significant share of the lead vocal work in each band. As to gear, in addition to the Waterstone TP12/34 Terry has a 1996 black Hamer 4-string Cruisebass. He uses a SansAmp Bass Driver, Tonebone Bassbone, Digitech Bass Whammy and runs into a Gallien-Krueger 400RB / 210 combo plus a 15" cabinet.

Terry writes, "I am constantly messing with the sonic combinations through my humble rig. The 12-string bass seems like an untamable beast at first but half the fun is the journey! 12stringbass.net is a life saving resource of info for a veteran player like me who still doesn't have all the answers... but I'm having a blast trying to figure it all out!"
