The James Johnston Jazz Bass guitar puts the Biffy Clyro bassist's own personal touch on a Squier Classic Vibe series instrument. Based on Johnston's Fender U.S.A. Jazz Bass, features include a Lake Placid Blue finish on a basswood body, vintage-tint gloss-maple neck with matching painted headcap, Johnston's signature on the back of the headstock and Biffy Clyro logo on the front, three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage-style chrome control plate, two custom single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, black control knobs and a high-mass bridge with brass barrel saddles.
Scottish alt-rock trio Biffy Clyro is known for complex and interwoven guitar riffs, chord sequences and melodies, and an intense and exciting live show. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Simon Neil and twins James Johnston (bass/vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums/vocals) in the mid-'90s, the band achieved mainstream U.K. success with 2007 Puzzle and a subsequent string of chart topping singles. Highly anticipated album Only Revolutions was released in November 2009.
