Vintage Marshall or Fender amps.. Head and 412 cab or combo, depending on the gig. I&#8217;m always switching up different combinations of overdrive\/modulation and delay pedals, but keeping them to a minimum. Sometimes, no pedals, just a tuner. For bass, an Ampeg V4B or GK RB400 with an Ampeg HLF 410 cab. My guitars include Gibson Les Paul Standards as well as several other vintage Gibson models, including an SG, Firebird, ES335, among others. I also own a few Fender guitars, including Stratocasters and a Telecaster. Gibson SJ150, Martin D28, and a 00015m. For bass, Gibson Thunderbird and Rickenbacker 4003 primarily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Bands or projects now or in the past?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Currently in a cover band called Mule City Daredevils.
