- '08 Schecter 004, strung w/Ken Smith Rock Masters (all the goodness of Roto 66's, but these last longer than 20 minutes)
- '08 Schecter Stiletto Extreme 4 modded (custom bone nut, Bartolini TBT preamp, more to come) strung w/GHS Pressurewounds
- '07 Squier VM Precision Bass TB (aka; the Telecaster bass) modded (rewired parallel w/CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, Badass III bridge, more to come) strung with Smiths again
- Rig 1; bass > Korg DT-10BK > Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso > Trace Elliott SMX Dual Compressor > etched/re-housed Fuzzrocious Grey Stache #87> kid-painted Fuzzrocious Kaeden OD #2 > plain-box Fuzzrocious BDPG #71 > Line 6 M5 w/Ernie Ball VP Jr 25k as an expression pedal (pedals mounted on PT Jr., powered by 1Spot) > '94 Trace Elliot AH130SM > Dr Bass 1260/Dr Bass 115LF *
*both purchased used from the class-ads here, btw...which is the only way I'd recommend buying his cabs these days, unfortunately.
-----------
- Rig 2; bass > Planet Waves tuner > BBE Opto Stomp > Catalinbread Hyper Pak #76 > Tronographic Rusty Box (pedals mounted on PT Mini, powered by 1Spot)> Epiphone Valve Junior head (re-tubed) > Markbass Traveler 102P (all sitting on an On-Stage amp stand)

- G.A.S. List:
-
BASSES - there are a number of basses that I'd like to own, but if I had the following I'd never GAS for another instrument. Ever.
- Ovation Magnum I; the bass I wanted when I was in college
- Kawaii FIIB; closest I'll ever get to an Alembic
- some version of a Musicman Stingray
- Rickenbacker 4001, preferably fireglo
- Rickenbacker 4002; as much chance for this as I do for a Trace V8, but I can dream...
AMPS/CABS -
- Hiwatt 200 head
- Trace Elliot V-8 (...yeah, like it will happen...but still...)
- Trace Elliott V-somethingsomething (...MUCH more probable than the V8)
- I wouldn't turn down a Traynor head
- I'd like to start picking up Trace cabs as I can afford them and become available
