Aguilar Amplification and DR Strings have added Chris Clark of Hunter & The Bear to their artist rosters.
Chris Clark, bass player with British rock band Hunter & The Bear has over 15 years experience as a performing bass player and plays an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 bass head and DB 410 cabinet.
He said: “Aguilar provides the pure power, tone and reliability I need, whilst accurately representing me as a player. I am hearing parts of my playing I have never truly heard from a bass amp before. It’s amazing, Aguilar is making me a better player”
The double endorsement deal also sees Clark added to the DR Strings artist roster after choosing to play the American string manufacturers’ Sunbeam Round Core Bass strings. He added: “DR Bass strings have all the qualities I’m constantly looking for – a brightness of tone and clear note resonance make them my go-to string choice for all my basses.”
London-based Hunter & The Bear began life as a duo with lead vocalist Will Irvine and guitarist Jimmy Hunter later enlisting drummer Gareth Thompson and bassist Clark to complete the line-up. The band has embarked on an extensive travelling schedule with touring merits that include European and US East Coast tours, support performances for Eric Clapton and festival appearances at T in the Park, CarFest and Reading and Leeds festivals. They are currently back on the road in the UK playing a host of nationwide shows this autumn.
To date, they have released three EP records and are currently releasing their debut album via monthly single releases that include singles Renegade and Oh Daisy.
Aguilar Amplification and DR Strings are exclusively distributed by Barnes & Mullins in the UK and Ireland.
