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

  1. Ibanez BTB6 fretted
  2. Concord/Moses custom 6-string fretless jazz bass
  3. Dingwall ABZ6 - workhorse basses with Party Police
  4. Dingwall Combustion 6-2 - workhorse basses with Untamed
  5. Kiesel Custom Zeus ZBM7 - extended range headless in tight spaces with Untamed!

Amplification

  1. Genzler Magellan 800 - now the gig workhorse
  2. Phil Jones Bass Compact 4 cabs to save my back up those stairs!
  3. Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0 combo - still superb for rehearsals!
  4. Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0 - still fantastic but keep as backup
  5. Vanderkley 112MNT cabinets
  6. An old favourite, my Trace Elliott RAH600SMX, has been retired.
  7. A new Trace Elliott has emerged - the TE1200, being put through its paces!

Accessories

  1. Payson and Dingwall strings for the FF basses.
  2. Elixir strings
  3. Lava / Evidence Audio / Piranha instrument cables
  4. Boss WL20 wireless
  5. Korg tuners
  6. Klotz / Proel speaker cables - superb at 12/14 AWG.
  7. Auralex GRAMMA and great-GRAMMA
  8. Source Audio - Soundblox Distortion & Soundblox Orbital Modulator, C4
  9. MXR - Envelope Filter, Octaver.
  10. Pedaltrain to house the pedals
