Current Setup

I've got 10 basses for now. Honorable mention to my '11 Rickenbacker 4003, 90's black label Fender Jazz, and my '77 Reissue J-bass. Most of my basses have been modified with duncan pickups, a couple have had some very interesting wiring jobs done. (I'm a gear head... always trying new things.)
Other's include:
LTD F-104
LTD B-50
Danelectro Longhorn (reissue)
OLP Musicman 5 string (i hate this bass)
Squier Jaguar Vintage Modified Series (P+J setup)
Schecter Stiletto Elite-4
Schecter Diamond Series Model T
Rogue Acoustic 4 String

As far as amps go, I've fallen in Love with the Fender Bronco 40, I use the line out and gig with it. It's the mose versatile amp I've ever owned.

Other than that I have a Hartke 220, that I run through a Hartke 4x10 w/ horn (NOT aluminum coned, those things suck) I sometimes pair this with my Peavey TNT 150 w/ black widow.

A couple small ibanez pratice amps.. and that's it for my bass stuff!

Favorite Genres

Funk, jazz, hard rock, metal.. pretty much anything that grooves or melts your face...

Gigs and Ensembles

Audiobox (alternative rock band), Locomotive Disaster (Acoustic rock group)

Previously Owned Gear

Used to have a B.C. Rich warlock with a P+J setup

Also had an LTD 5 String... same model as the B-50.. think it may have been a B-55

other than that, I've never sold any gear
