Where do we begin when talking about Savant’s bassist Rich Leitch. Well first off he is your typical run of the mill heavy metal bassist. You know, he lives in a trailer……Drinks all day….and..um….drinks more. But seriously, he is a very accomplished musician. His influences include, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Lynard Skynard, Less Claypool & Bill Dickens (I’m sure only other bassist will know who this is)

The most amazing thing about Rich is that he hasn’t been playing all that long…since about ’96. Yup that’s right a year before the recording of “The Dawning”. He was also fresh out of high school. When you take the time to listen to what he plays you can tell he is at home with a bass in his hands. His most comfortable place to be is on stage, in front of a large audience, with a bass in his hands. Ok, and a beer too! Hell the only thing he enjoys as much as playing bass and drinking beer is watching his sister run around naked!

When he plays he doesn’t just follow the guitars, he accents the songs, adding soft arppegiated notes in the slower songs, and some incredibly fast runs in the heavier stuff. Lets face it….he might not be much, but he is excellent at what he does. He really might be a true Savant, when it comes to bass. Rich plays Ibanez ,Yamaha 4-string basses, Kramer Acoustic/Electric, And Aria Pro fretless six string. His gear is composed of Peavy Mark VI head, Music man 65 and Crate 2x 15 cabinets. Oh, he also owns a Siamese cat named Simon that has rectum problems…you do the math.

LEAGAL STATEMENT:The statements made about latex women and his sister are purely hearsay(from Rich), no one has got it on tape so you can’t prove nothing. Oh and for the animal lovers…No animals have been harmed in the making of this Bio..as to what happens in the privacy of Richies own trailer Oxso Entertainment can’t say.
