These are representative examples of instruments I have owned, dredged from the net. Of all of them, I miss the Hofner the most.
Amplifiers used back then were a Carvin ST2500 feeding a Peavey 215 cab and a blackface Fender Bassman 50 feeding a weird Fender cabinet with three 12" drivers.
That's me (with the 12-string)circa 1974 in one of the outfits I played with, "Mutant Blue"
For some reason, I was never photographed with a bass.
Current gear: Fender Jag, modified with extra shielding, DiMarzio Model J's, a black pickguard, Hipshot bridge and tuners, including a D-tuner; "Black Betty", a highly modified 1969ish Univox Coily; Dano '63 Baritone - my "piccolo" 6-string bass, 1966 Hagstrom H IIB; and Jay Turser EAB, improved with K&K Pure Pickups. Carvin/Peavey 1/2 stack, and Fender B-DEC 30.
I'm mostly interested in Americana, leaning more to the country and blues influence, but I love jazz and roots rock, also. I (try to) play anything that catches my interest.
For technique, I play mostly with a pick, but occasionally with my fingers, depends on the song.
I've recently acquired a Stagg electric upright and I've been having a lot of fun with it.
Here are the new ones:
The blue 5-banger "Bertha DeBlues" is an ebay find, which I equipped with Seymour Duncan MM and jazz pickups, mother-of-toilet-seat pickguard, and a Badass bridge.
