Gary John Jarman (born 20 October 1980) is a British multi-instrumentalist, best known for being bassist and singer in the Wakefield music group The Cribs. Formed in 2002, The Cribs have released six albums to date, and numerous singles and EP’s. As of 2016 their latest 3 records have charted in the UK top 10, alongside 7 top 40 singles. He has lived in Portland, Oregon since 2006.
In 2014, Jarman was named one of the “Greatest Bass Players of All-Time” by NME Magazine and its readers. His playing style was described thus “A true punk, Jarman’s bass playing is often violent and thrashy but he never misses a note or a beat.”
In 2016, it was announced that Jarman would receive his own signature bass through Fender/Squier. The Gary Jarman Signature Bass was released in August 2016.
Gary endorses Fender basses, of which he prefers the Precision and Mustang, and Ampeg bass amplifiers, using valve Classics and Vintage, as well as the solid-state SVT 350, through classic 8×10 cabinets.
