John Campbell (bassist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Campbell (born September 30, 1972) is the bassist and a founding member of the groove metal/metalcore band Lamb of God.
He uses mainly jackson basses, but also has a Peavey Millenium bass he uses as well. He plays with a pick exclusively. He uses a Mesa 400+ all tube bass amp and two Mesa Roadready 8x10 cabinets.
John is known for being able to double the notes the guitarists are playing, despite the larger length and width of the bass guitar's fretboard and the fact that his strap is incredibly low, which places strain on his wrists, but John is still able to play normally.
Campbell is also one of Lamb of God's two vegetarians, the other being Chris Adler.
He considers playing the lowest strings and notes to be a defining characteristic of his bass playing.
Unlike many bass players who will use five and six string basses, Campbell will sometimes use a self modified three-stringed Guild Pilot bass, excluding the higher g-string.
