My gear
It's taken a while to get my gear sorted; with the evolution in modern amplification technology, and the need to reduce the load carried in and out of the house, I tend to use 1-2 basses. As it stands this is what I tend to use:
Basses
- Ibanez BTB6 fretted
- Concord/Moses custom 6-string fretless jazz bass
- Dingwall ABZ6 - workhorse basses with Party Police
- Dingwall Combustion 6-2 - workhorse basses with Untamed
- Kiesel Custom Zeus ZBM7 - extended range headless in tight spaces with Untamed!
Amplification
- Genzler Magellan 800 - now the gig workhorse
- Phil Jones Bass Compact 4 cabs to save my back up those stairs!
- Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0 combo - still superb for rehearsals!
- Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0 - still fantastic but keep as backup
- Vanderkley 112MNT cabinets
- An old favourite, my Trace Elliott RAH600SMX, has been retired.
- A new Trace Elliott has emerged - the TE1200, being put through its paces!
Accessories
- Payson and Dingwall strings for the FF basses.
- Elixir strings
- Lava / Evidence Audio / Piranha instrument cables
- Boss WL20 wireless
- Korg tuners
- Klotz / Proel speaker cables - superb at 12/14 AWG.
- Auralex GRAMMA and great-GRAMMA
- Source Audio - Soundblox Distortion & Soundblox Orbital Modulator, C4
- MXR - Envelope Filter, Octaver.
- Pedaltrain to house the pedals
- Stageclix Wireless - now retired
