Though known to the masses as a Hollywood celebrity husband to …(that’s not what we focus on here at Know Your Bass Player*) … bassist, composer, producer Martyn LeNoble has forged a varied and noble career as a collaborator, side-man, and band member with The Cult, Pornos for Pyros, Jane’s Addiction, Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan, Tom Morello, and Scott Weiland, to cite a few. Martyn’s usual weapon of choice is the Fender Jazz bass.

In addition to composing for film and television, LeNoble is a dexterous song-player who forged pocket grooves, slaps passages, and melodic counterpoint on some of the most perplexing platters of those aforementioned artists’ careers.
