BIO

Kade Turner is a Melbourne-based bassist and educator defined by a lifelong obsession with tone and technique. Since picking up the bass at 16, Kade has established a global presence as a session musician and recording artist. His career highlights include five years touring internationally with the Australian powerhouse Mammal, as well as collaborating on elite custom bass builds, including his 2023 Custom Warwick Corvette and 5-string Nexus basses.

In 2018, he launched kadeturner.com, a premier platform for bass tuition and audio production. Through his viral tributes to artists like Tool and Pantera—which have amassed millions of views—Kade has become a global authority for bassists seeking technical precision and 100% accurate transcriptions.

Central to Kade’s sound is his transition to Gallien-Krueger rigs. Whether he is tracking in the studio or performing live, Kade relies on GK to provide the massive headroom and signature clarity his technical playing demands.

In Kade's Words:

"Moving to GK was a game-changer. When you're as obsessed with tone as I am, you need a rig that delivers a killer, consistent sound in every environment. GK is the foundation of my setup."
