Bass, double bass

France

Bassist and double bassist Franck Bedez has accompanied some of France's greatest artists, including Florent Pagny, Lara Fabian, Charles Aznavour, and the latest tour of Les Vieilles Canailles with Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, and Jacques Dutronc.

He is the bassist for the TV shows The Voice Kids & Star Academy (TF1) and musical director of the group Steve Ferrone & Friends.

The musician can also be heard on the soundtracks of several films (The Shadow's Edge, Envoyés très spéciaux en Irak, Le Petit Nicolas, Plan de table, Des lendemains qui chantent, Une heure de tranquillité, La dernière leçon, Chacun sa vie, etc.).

His solo album, released in 2009, is entitled Investigations, and he is currently touring with the band Circle of Mud.

Franck chose the Corelli double bass for its good pizzicato projection and flexibility when bowing, as well as the Hexagonal Explosion bass for its unique tone and incomparable tuning stability.
