Tim Bogert

John Voorhis "Tim" Bogert III was an American multi-instrumentalist musician and frequent collaborator with drummer Carmine Appice; the duo performed in such bands as Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, and the power trio Beck, Bogert & Appice.. As a bass guitarist and vocalist he was best known for his powerful vocal ability and his fast runs, fluid agility and ground-breaking sound on his Fender Precision Bass. He was one of the pioneers of using distortion with his bass to help it cut through the mix with the low-powered amps of his time, which also imparted a very sharp-edged sound to it.
