It sort of looks like a Gallien-Kreuger Backline 600, but I don't have any idea when those amps first went into production...

For me, had tons of pedals over the years but right now, it's the Boss GT-1B. Picked it up on a whim. It's pretty much replaced everything else I was toting around. That said, EVERY TIME I say I won't ever get rid of a pedal, I get rid of that pedal. {shrugs}

I added a Reverend Mercalli to my arsenal a couple of years ago, easily one of the best playing/feeling passive basses I've ever owned. It's got the P/MM p'ups. Reverend makes one called the Decision, which has their take on the P/J combination. Mercalli: Decision:

Been using DR Hi-Beams and DR Black Beauties for the longest time, but just tried S.I.T Foundations Nickel and am LOVING them... so I'm thinking my "goto" brand just changed...
