Mike Watt

Watt states on his site that he uses a 1956 Fender Precision bass.

Mike Watt using a Peavey bass rig in 1979; the head is a solid state Peavey 400 bass amp and the cabinet is either a P.A. or bass cabinet by Peavey. This Peavey bass rig is almost excatly similar to what Greg Ginn used up until around 1982-83. Black Flag and Minutemen practically came from the same school (SST Records); it makes perfect sense that they would have strickingly similiar gear at one point. Mike Watt's bass tone while in the Minutemen was often defined by utilizing a significant amount of treble and mid-range sound as opposed to deep low-ends and bass-rich tones, he remains a versatile and incredibly talanted individual.
