Current Setup

ESP LTD TA-600 with 18v EMG 35DC n/b, v/b/t No preamp installed.

Fender MIM Jazz, rosewood neck, lake placid blue, Seymour Duncan SJB-3 n/b, badass ii, black pick guard

Jackson Kelly, black, EMG PJX pickup set in ivory with 18v

Schecter Omen-4, wood color, badass ii, active preamp removed with both passive pickups wired together into one volume pot. Huge tone and low end response from removing all the garbage. Headstock rounded and sanded so it didn't look like my ltd's headstock.

Schecter Raiden Special-5 restrung to EADGC, clear red quilted, gotoh chrome tuners off a ZON bass, aftermarket Schecter string through bridge in chrome. v/v/t with coil tap.

Squire Affinity P-bass, arctic white, my first bass, Seymour Duncan SPB-3 and STK J-2 (hot stack) routed in the bridge position. Black Gotoh 201, black mighty mite tuners, fretless ebonol mighty mite p neck, black american pickguard, black string retainer, bone nut, side jack, v/v/unhooked pot for looks with three black knobs, saddles had to be filed to get the strings real low. The stock nut was terrible.

Squire bronco short scale with full size schecter bridge with fender saddles, mim jazz pickups routed n/b, full size tuners off my p bass, pickguard customized v/v/input

Peavey max700 amp, tvx 4x12 cab, both made in USA

Pigtronix bass station, bass envelope phaser.

Monster bass instrument cord 21' (straight ends)into bass station, 3' monster 500 patch cable out of bass station to amp input. Envelope phaser hooked to bass station's effects loop with two 1' hosa low profile patch cables. I tried running the bass station through my amps effects loop but it sounded like crap. It sounds great going into the input. I also use a 3' monster stereo cord for my cabinet

Portable korg chromatic tuner

Smith metal masters heavy strings 110-85-70-50. Best strings for me.

Previously Owned Gear

I wanted to try a Rickenbacker 4003 so I ordered a new one in black, it arrived with the top warped to where you could see a space from the bridge rising, cracks in the finish around the bridge, the pickups had little cracks around the poles, I sent it back and ordered the same thing from another dealer, same thing, these things had glue smears around the binding, crappy paint jobs, the bridge is a piece of pot metal, these things are $2000 and it felt like I was holding $200 guitars. I guess the ones in the 70's might have been good quality but these new ones certainly arent up to my standards for such a high dollar instrument.
