Unlike other areas of my life I'm not much of a gadget freak when it comes to my rig:
-
1976 Fender Jazz Bass
- Seymour Duncan 3 way active preamp with funk button
- DL "Fat Beams" 45 series strings .045/.065/.085/.105
- Ibanez compression pedal
-
Zoom 502 effects pedal
- Eno digital tuner
-
Crate practice amp, rarely turned on unless the house is otherwise empty
-
Mackie 402 mixer, for play-alongs
- AudioTron MP3 streamer, to play the tunes
- Alesis SR-16 drum machine, to practice playing in the pocket
-
Sennheiser HD-440 II headphones for practice... most of which I do late at night ;-)
-
Finale Allegretto for scoring, practice scales, etc
