Stuff I Use or Have Used in the Past

NOTE: I'm nowhere near a big enough wheel to have any endorsement contracts with anybody. I've paid my own hard-earned money for all of this stuff.

Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

Without doubt, the best bass I have ever played. 'Nuff said.

Fender Fretless Jazz Bass

I use this for mellower, jazzy-sounding tunes. It gets heavy-gauge tape-wound flats for that deep, gut-bucket Blues sound.

Fender Precision Bass

I use this for almost everything now. It gets heavy-gauge flats for a deep, Motown sound.

SWR Workingman's 12

A great little amp - powerful, punchy, and portable.  SWR was recommended to me by Jack Casady.  He knows.

SWR Workingman's 10

A little more portable than the Workingman's 12, almost as powerful, and with the same great tone.  SWR was recommended to me by Jack Casady.  He knows.

SWR Workingman's 15T

A great 15 inch 200W extension cab for the Workingman's combo amps.  SWR was recommended to me by Jack Casady.  He knows.

Hartke 3500

A great workhorse amp - with tube and solid state preamps. 

Fender RAD 25

Now marketed as the Bassman-25. A great little practice amp. It can even handle a 5-string's low-B through its 10" speaker.

Dean Markley Blue Steel Strings

The best strings I've found so far. They keep their tone long after all the others I've tried were long dead.

LaBella Deep-Talkin' Bass Strings

Great bass strings for a deep, smooth Blues tone.
