Vashon Johnson, Bass Player of Year 2011
Yes, that's right. Vashon Johnson. Vashon is the bass player responsible for holding down the low-end in some of the top acts today. In addition to the top earner Miley Cyrus, Vashon has just added The Jacksons to his ever expanding "Who's Who" of the music industry.
And what strings does Vashon rely on night in and night out? Our R.Cocco 40-100 nickel set. "I don't always have that much time to change strings and the R.Cocco strings are great because they last a really long time." Continues Vashon, "And when I do have the time to change strings I can count each and every R.Cocco set to be great. R.Cocco is the most consistent string I've ever played."
When asked to describe his playing style he says “I like to disappear into the music…or maybe it’s that I’m a chameleon.” Either way, he’s an accomplished artist whether playing on upright, electric or synth basses. "I find it a great compliment when I’m playing (one) and someone tells me "I didn’t know you played (the other)." Rather soft-spoken and cerebral by nature, Vashon uses his instruments to express alternative personae. “They’re all different instruments and when I play them, I feel like different personalities. I approach each one differently."
Meet Vashon at The NAMM Show 2012. He'll be at the Osiamo/R.Cocco booth, # 1439 in Hall E. Schedule tba.
Welcome aboard, Vashon!
