Dave Swift Collection

We’re proud to present The Dave Swift Collection - a rare opportunity to own instruments from the personal arsenal of one of the UK’s most respected bassists.

Each bass in this collection has been hand-selected and played by Dave Swift, long-time bassist for Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra since 1991. These are not just exceptional instruments - they’re pieces of British music history.

With a career spanning over 40 years (since 1982), Dave Swift has performed and recorded with music legends including George Benson, Adele, Paul Simon, Chaka Khan, and Eric Clapton. Known for his deep groove, flawless technique, and rich tone, Dave has been the backbone of Jools Holland’s band since 1991 - appearing on countless tours, TV shows, and studio sessions.
