  • 2006 American Fender Jazz Deluxe enlarge

    2006 American Fender Jazz Deluxe

    Great tone for slapping and hard plucking, probably my favorite bass in terms of tone.

  • 2007 Music Man Stingray enlarge

    Very funky sounding bass, great build quality, awesome for tapping and slapping.

  • 2009 American Fender Standard P-Bass enlarge

    2009 American Fender Standard P-Bass

    Classic rock, deep slap, bass tone. A must-have bass, the P-bass is the standard in tone and playability. This is the easiest of my bass guitars to play.

  • Hartke Amp HA7000 enlarge

    Hartke Amp HA7000

    Hartke Amp HA7000, bi amp 350+350watts
    Hartke Hydrive 4x10 and 1X15 cabinets

    • Basses Wanted:

    • Lefty 6-string Warwick
    • Lefty Rickenbacker, red finish
    • Lefty Höfner Beatle bass

    I am not endorsed by Hartke in any way but after years of playing through various amps and cabs (Ampegs, SWR’s, Traynor, Yorkville, etc.) it is my opinion that Hartke has a unique, punchy tone that outperforms the competition. The new Hydrive cabs deliver amazing tone in an extremely lightweight design. I haven’t tried any of Hartke’s newer amps but I love my HA7000’s sick tone, huge power and bi-amp feature that lets me run the lows to my single 15, and mids and highs to my 4×10.
