over a dozen hand selected basses collected through the years (Over 38) of playing professionally. I switch off on them often from an Alembic Series one 5-string to a number of great Fender Jazz basses and other odds and ends. They all sound distinctly different! For some gigs it's ultimate ears in-ear monitors, other gigs amps of course...
