Beth Hart

What does he like about Vintage? "The tone: These basses fit in the mix really well. My Vintage Icon series Jazz Bass has such a fat tone. It’s so musically pleasing. I love it. My Reissue series 5 string sounds even and wide. Perfect. And my Reissue series Pbass is ridiculously “alive” tone-wise."

Tom Lilly is a bass player who grew up in Dallas, TX and records and performs with Beth Hart. He takes pride in being a versatile player, being able to move from one style to another at the drop of a hat, but really enjoys pouring his energy into one main playing situation, as it really helps him focus on what to practice.

When not working with Beth and the band, he spends his time composing music for TV shows. "That’s an incredible opportunity that allows me to explore other instruments and styles, as needed for various sound palettes for different shows and moods. And I find that taking on the rolls of composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist is an invaluable discipline for learning about music."
