“As a guitarist you can come in after the one without the house falling apart. But as a bass player, you always have to be there”: How Jonas Reingold switched from classical guitar and became Steve Hackett’s go-to bassist

Jonas Reingold plays a Rickenbacker bass.

If you’re in the market for a bassist capable of tackling anything from angular post-punk to the Swedish prog rock to the virtuoso smorgasbord of Steve Hackett, you needn’t look further than Jonas Reingold.

He has a masters degree in fine arts and was a busy session player in the ‘90s before forming Karmakanic in 2002, and then joining Hackett’s band in 2019.
