Bass First Act Limited Edition Delgada; GHS Bass Boomers (.050-.115), Dunlop Tortex Picks (1.14mm)

Rig 80s Ampeg SVT VL head and 8x10 cab; 70s Laney Klipp head and Marshall 4x12 cab

Effects MXR M80 Bass DI, Fulltone Bass-Drive MOSFET, Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff, Whirlwind A/B Box, Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner

I run the DI, with distortion as my primary tone, into the SVT. I've also been using Matt's Metal Muff to get a crazy, overdriven sound. We like the heaviness of tuning down two steps to CFBbEb.
