4 string 34 inch scale prototype, basswood body, reverse neck(originally made for swr)
4 string 34 inch ash body and neck, spalted ash top..maple board
5 string 35 inch lacewood with wenge neck/board
5 string 35 inch burl top maple neck and i forget the body wood and fret board, i have to ask mike again..
5 string prototype fretless modulus genesis, sorry dont remember wood on this one either but it is a highly figured top, wenge neck with pink ivory fret board.
5 string cotton wood/ wenge neck/board
6 string "daniel" guitar.. custom painted by Mike's son..
I had a acoustic bass but Charlie Nicely got his hands on itand well, he plays it better than me.........

Funny... sorry for off topic, last one... I actually play my Geddy regularly! Maybe not as much my MTDs (I only have TWO! :p) and other high end stuff, but definitely regularly... fits the blues band really well! That classic 70's J tone/personality... yummy classic goodness...
