Fender Deluxe Jaguar: Great bass, incredibly fast neck, great action, so many tonal options with the active EQ. Quite like an active jazz bass.
Ibanez GSR 190: nice little beginner bass, thin neck, light, bit muddy in the lower regions but come on, your practising...
Orange Crush 50: Nice little amp, good tone, not the loudest but good enough for rehearsal and small venues, the built in tuner really makes things easier, one less thing i have to remember to bring with me
