I'm glad we got to spend these last couple of days together, so let's spend it boring you to hell! 🤣🤣 I kid, I kid. Let's go over my gear, shall we?

First off my basses, my main bass is a Squier Affinity bass, Olympic white with a black pickguard. 95% of the hardware has been replaced from chrome to black. Pick ups and electronics are all stock. I've dubbed it the stormtrooper because of the colors and also because of the Galactic Empire emblem sticker on the front. Also has a giant Arizona flag sticker on the back (proud native Arizonan). My backup bass is a Schecter Riot 5, aged natural satin, 5 string bass. All electronics and hardware are stock, EMG pick ups, 3-band active E/Q, 18 volt, black Schecter hardware. Also has AZ flag sticker on the back. Both basses get D'addario XL nickel wound strings. 45-65-80-100 for the Squier and add a 130 guage B string to the Schecter. Picks I'm using intune guitar picks, triangular, 1.14 guage, custom artwork.

I run the bass into a Line 6 Relay G-30 wireless system, into a Dunlop Geezer Butler bass wah, into an Electro-Harmonix bass Big Muff pi, into a chromatic tuner pedal. Any cables or patch cables I use are guitar center house brand.

Finally all that goes into a Peavey MAX 160 watt bass head which is pushed out of a Peavey VB-810 bass cabinet. Honestly the best tone I've ever had with this behemoth. I push everything on it but mostly the mids and the treble just bites hah! 

Hope you're all digging this meet the band stuff, I sure enjoyed geeking out and writing this stuff down and I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about my rig. Stay safe, stay clean and keep on rocking!
