{{Heading|Style and Influences}}

Bruce's complex, jazz-influenced playing established him as one of the foremost bassists in rock music. During his time with Cream, he developed his signature style and began to make use of [[string bending]] and [[Fuzz bass|bass distortion]] to stand out in the band, becoming prominently associated with the [[Gibson EB-3]] and [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]] Amplification. Later, he switched to fretless Warwick basses and developed a cleaner sound utilizing Hartke amplifiers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jack Bruce - Equipment |url=http://www.jackbruce.com/2008/Gear/gear.htm |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=www.jackbruce.com}}</ref>
