Although he's played everything from stand-up to Fender, Robby Pagliari's specialty is the six-string fretless bass. He developed and honed his unique style as part of the influential Jazz-Rock fusion band The New Yorkers, as well as the gothic metal band Divine Rite. Pagliari, known as "Pag," is a quiet man who lets his soul speak through his instrument. Pagliari cites Cream's Jack Bruce as the fundamental influence, as well as the late Jaco Pastorius. Robby's style is so individual and unique that it's unmistakable. (Courtesy of The Official Big Franklin Website).
