Dave still tours extensively, and is also active as a record producer and songwriter.

Dave tells us "As a freelance professional bass player, I’m constantly on the lookout for classic tones that compliment the musical genre that I happen to be working in at the time. There can be no more classic bass tone than Hofner! No messing, no fiddling with controls, just plug in and you’re there……… perfect!"
