[edit] Discography

[edit] Equipment

[edit] Main 5-string

Lakland 55-94 Quilted Maple w/Ebony fretboard bass "The only 5 that feels like a 4. The best aspects of a Jazz & a Music Man with out the inherent problems of either. Huge bottom.".

[edit] New Main Fender Jazz 4-string!

'05 Mexican Standard - Cutomized by Uriah In memory of his stolen bass (see below), I've created what some say is one of the best sounding Jazz basses they have ever heard. It's similar to the previous bass, but with a few changes. And it's all trimmed out in gold.

[edit] Fender Jazz 4-string

'07 Mexican Reggie Hamilton Fender Jazz "P" pickup in the front; Bartolini's. BadAssII Bridge.

[edit] Darryl Jones 4 String Skyline

I bought this one off of my brother Dorian Duffy, and love it! He upgraded to the 5-string with Maple fretboard. This one's got EMG's but I'll probably put in Barto's soon. I'll also change the knobs to Vol/PanPot/Tone.

[edit] Bee Bass Piccolo

(or is it Tenor or Alto?) It all depends on how you tune it. My two tunings: Piccolo- BEADG an octave higher than a normal 5 string Tenor- ADGCF (a tenor bass with a high F) Swamp Ash Body • Maple neck • Flamed Maple top, fretboard and headstock. DeLano Pickups

[edit] Former Main 4-string

'98 Mexican Fender Jazz Bass—R.I.P "You gotta have a 'Franken-Jazz', so I got this bass cheap and put in Bartolini's and a BadAss II Bridge. I love it except that I have to set it up all the time. Killer tone though. This is my workhorse and beater bass. I wish I had a Lakland identical to this bass."

[edit] Bee Bass 5 string

Another uniquely beautiful instrument from luthier Fred Bolton. Delano Xtender Pickup

[edit] '86 Alembic Spoiler

"I've had this one since '90 and still love it. It sounds and records so clean, but it just doesn't have the bottom I need. I now keep it tuned Tenor (ADGC) and use it for solos, chords or as a second bass when playing with another bassist. ".
