The Obligatory Gear Page

I am very proud to endorse Elixir Nanoweb bass strings and the Hartke VXL Bass Attack preamp. I use Nanowebs .30-.130 gauges on all my bases except my Alden violin bass which is strung with flatwounds. The Hartke preamp pedal is a fantastic tool for recording and live work, incorporating tube emulation, EQ and a great DI.

I own far too many effects, most of which rarely leave the house, but for gigs I usually use, in addition to the Hartke VXL preamp, some of the folowing:

Zoom B2.1u multi effect
Mxr M82 Bass Envelope Filter
ElectroHarmonix MicroPOG octave generator
eBow
Boss TU2 tuner
EBS Multicomp compressor
