Current Setup

2009 German Warwick Corvette 5-String with Bartolini 59j1 Dual coil pickups (Custom Built Leather Hard-shell case - super sweet!),
2002 Spector Euro NS 4 string, 2005 Music Man Stingray, Epiphone Allen Woody hollow body, Blast Cult One4Five upright (just got it...LOVE IT!), Original headstock G&L L2500 - Leo got this baby right when he and George designed it. From my bass, Korg Pitchblack Chrome Edition tuner, EB volume pedal, ProCo passive DI, MXR 10 Band Graphic EQ, MXR DynaComp, and EMMA Designs "DiscomBOBulator". For small gigs I use an Ampeg BA-210 SP, larger gigs - SWR SM500 Head into into a BBE MaxCom 2 channel Sonic Maximizer/Compressor, all powered by a Furman Power Conditioner. The head pushes Ampeg 4x10 Classic Series Cabinet and Ampeg 1x15 Classic Series Cabinet. Studio I use a borrowed vintage B-15 fliptop, or a truly old-school Kustom (blue tuck vinyl covering) with a 2 - 15 Kustom Cabinet - Great for Mowtown, Classic Rock, & Funk!
