The early Allman Brothers Band recordings (especially live) never cease to amaze me. Berry's playing is so creative and compelling, and he got such a nice punchy growly sound. Anyone know what gear he used? |

A Fender jazz bass with a Guild Starfire pickup added nicknamed "the Tractor" was his main bass I believe. He played Guilds as well. Used Rotosound roundwound! Love his playing!!!!!

And that J-Bass is heavily modded! 2 J pups near the bridge and the starfire in the neck position, wow. |

I still havent gotten around to learning the lines though. Berry is one of my favorite bassists of all time . Duane specifically wanted a bassist who could trandsend the instrument like others had not and that could lift the band. I think Berry fit that perfectly. |
