- Current Setup:
- The Squier Vintage Modified series has been treating me great. Initially picked up the Jazz Bass because it was cheap and I didn't feel bad about taking it out on the road; turned me on to the entire line. Road-worthy, stable, and the necks feel great. The Jaguar Bass has been my go-to lately (with Bill Lawrence Wilde P46 and J45 pickups), but I love the fretted and fretless Jazz Basses too. Been playing my Epiphone Jack Casady a lot at home; fun to play and inspires me to approach parts differently than the Fenders.
