About |
![]() |
Jack Dillard has been playing guitar and bass since 1969. He started playing in local clubs in 1970 and over the years he's played many different styles of music, Oldies, Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues and Country. Some of the bands he's worked with have been Eighth and Plumb, The Crystalires, The Dixie Drifters, The Heat Waves, The New South, The Bush River Band, Turners Outlaw Band, Quick Change, Detour, The Country Breeze, Backroads, Appaloosa, Steel Force and Over The Edge. I've also worked with a couple Elvis Presley tribute artists, Lionel Ward and Michael Hoover. Since he's played so many different types of music his influences are very diverse. He's probably been influenced by every guitarist and bassist he's ever listened to, to some degree, but some of his primary guitar influences are: Stevie Ray Vaughan Buddy Guy BB King Billy Gibbons Jimi Hendrix Johnny Winter John Fogerty Charlie Christian Don Rich Roy Nichols Brent Mason Vince Gill His bass influences are: Mel Schacher Randy Jo Hobbs Stuart Hamm

Gear |
Gear Used for Electric Guitar Gigs
Jack has a few guitars that he uses for any gig. A 2020 Kirn Nashville Telecaster, a 2015 Kirn Old Blackie Telecaster and a 2010 PRS 305 25th Anniversary.
|
Gear Used for Bass Gigs
He doesn't play any gigs that require a huge bass rig so his MarkBass Little Mark III head and Markbass NY151 cabinet has been able to cover anything he's needed to do. It's 300W at 8 ohm and 500W at 4 ohms. Solid state power and preamp, direct out and will accept either low or high impedance input.
He'll be using his Ibanez SR505E 5 String for everything, it's very versatile and responds well to different right hand positions to alter the tone.
|
Gear Used for Acoustic Gigs
He'll bring his Anderson Crowdster and Martin Performing Artist OMCPA4 for these. The Crowdster is a very acoustic sounding thin bodied acoustic/electric. The OMCPA4 has Fishman F1 Analog electronics.
He has a Fender Acoustasonic 150 2X8 for amplification which works very well. It also has some models of electric amps so it could be used for a gig where both electric and acoustic are needed.
