I have always been a big Aerosmith fan, growing up in Massachusetts it's kind of mandatory. He plays mostly Sadowski basses he was telling me. He also has some of those Color DR strings on a few of his basses.
He was really nice for the most part a little tired though this was in Anaheim, CA after their show last week.

Cool! Was he using GK amps? He's an "Artist" on the GK website. I think he's also an "Artist" on the Hartke website.

Also, he plays with a pick, right?

I am pretty sure he uses Hartke mostly. He will play with a pick sometimes and his fingers sometimes depending on the song.

That's the other one! Thank you! I was kind of nervous talking to him. He rattled of a bunch of Sadowksi basses and yes he also plays a torquoise F bass with DR Extra Life Bass - Peacock Blue strings.
Man I just looked those basses up NICE! Hard to keep with all the different basses out there these days.
