Mike MacDougall

Mike is bassist for Canadian jamband champs 'The Jimmy Swift Band'. Playing close to 200 shows a year all over Canada gives him a chance to chat to a lot of people about his GT7. "I think sometimes it gets more attention than the band!" Mike tells us that every interview he's done since picking it up has ended with a set of questions about his bass, "People are just blown away by it! I can see why, I think it's perfect; rich, warm, perfectly even tone right accross the neck, it plays like butter and it looks fantastic. Initially, I wondered about the size of the neck, I was sure it would take me years to get used to it, but within a day or two all of my other basses just felt like toys, I've found my home!" This year Mike and his band picked up a Canadian East Coast Music Award for Alternative Group of the Year in Saint John, New Brunswick, where he got to play his bass to over two million viewers nation wide on CBC televisions broadcast of the ECMA2002 Awards Show.
