Jack Lawrence. The bassist for The Raconteurs, the newly-formed Dead Weather, and the Greenhornes. Many would say that Jack Lawrence is piggy-backing on the success of Jack White, who didn't even need a bassist in the White Stripes. But if you were to ask Jack White if he could replace Lawrence, the answer would be no.
the following video shows Lawrence playing with the Raconteurs live on the Jools Holland show. his timbre is real good...very meaty and strong, without having to rely to strongly on effects for a presence on stage. it's also refreshing to see Lawrence utilizing rickenbacker...the 4003 model, i believe. Fender has been so popular among bassists for so long, it's nice to see such a successful bassist breaking the norm.
