"’I use Aria ZZB Customs, which is kind of a vamp on a Gibson Explorer shape with a wacky paint job, and the pickups on them are really, really cool. They’re essentially a split-coil P-bass pickup in a humbucker housing. I use the bridge pickup a lot for recording to get a middy growl, but live I run both to take up more low-end space. It’s a medium-scale bass with 24 frets and the neck is thin like a guitar’s, which is awesome for me because I’m all over the place."
