These are some of my current instruments, amplifiers, and accessories. I’m very pleased with all of them as they all provide top quality, unique tones for varying gigs, and are all incredible works of craftmanship in their own right. Enjoy!
Fodera Emperor II Elite Five String (25th Anniversary Model)
Mahogany body, quilted swamp ashtop, maple neck, Brazillian rosewood fingerboard and pickup covers, alder tone block, walnut veneer. Duncan dual coil pickups with Mike Pope preamp.
Sadowsky 24 fret 5 string
Ebony fingerboard, alder body, quilted maple top, jazz pickups in traditional location, strung with D’addario half rounds.
This bass is my main working bass since 2005 and provides my classic Fender style tones with a sleeker, lighter body, as well as Sadowsky’s signature pickups and preamp. A jazz bass on steroids!
Roscoe SKB 3005 Fretless
Spalted elm top, synthetic fingerboard, Bartolini pickups, spanish cedar back, strung with D’addario XL 165’s.
This lined fretless seems to get a lot of remarks for its outstanding tone. It’s really a joy to play!

This incredible bass in the classic English style has been mine since 2002. It is currently for sale.
