Finn Thompson is a versatile electric and double bassist, whose varied musical styles include Neo-soul, Jazz fusion, and Indie. He was pushed from guitar to bass in his first band after losing a coin flip with the other guitarist.

Now studying Jazz at Leeds Conservatoire he hopes to gain the skills and knowledge to push him to the next level.

Finn has an eclectic knowledge of bassists which he uses to create unique bass lines in a range of genres, some of his favourites include – Victor Wooten, Pino Palladino, and James Jamerson.

Finn is a confident performer and important band member, often taking key roles in organising gigs, promotion and other logistics.

Finn inherited his grandfather’s double bass and immediately began practising. Michael Sexton was a well-known bassist on the London jazz scene and Finn hopes to follow in his footsteps and honour his legacy.

Finn is continuing to study double bass legends like Ron Carter, Ray Brown and Stanley Clark to refine his playing.
