Tony Franklin

Bass

Blue Murder exploded onto the scene, on the heels of the smash, self-titled Whitesnake album. I had never heard a fretless bass before that, and there have only been a few others to try it since then. When James and I decided to go ahead with this project and finally get these songs recorded properly, we knew we needed to replace the bass tracks he had originally recorded, by a REAL bassist, and when I started thinking about who we should get to do that, Tony's name came immediately to the top of the list. There are few bassists that have such an immediately recognizable sound, and as I expected, his input brought an immediate impact to each song he played on.
