In the video for aftermath by the ghost inside, Jim can be seen using a music man hh stingray. his bass is in a yellow finish. This was the first song released by the band after their life altering bus crash
We use two mics on the bass drum: Beta 52 and a Beta 91

On the snare we are also using two mics: the SM7 on top and SM57 on the bottom
On our floor toms we wanted to match the thunderous sound of our kick, so my initial thought was to go with Beta 52s. Since we were using the 98s which are condensers on the high toms, Ryan Smith at Shure suggested the KSM27. That was a great call!!
I use two other microphones: the Beta 56 and the SM58. We use the 56 as my vocal mic because of it's great ability to reject unwanted noise, which in our case, would be the drums! The 58 is used as my talk back mic that can only be heard by the band, sound crew and video director.

in this post jim shows off his 64 audio in ear monitors
Jim uses a sterling ray34 bass. His bass is a burl top model. His bass doesn’t have a pickguard, and jim debated putting on one but opted not to because of how nice it looked without one. He states that it was sent to him by music man to try out
Live, jim is using a quad cortex for his bass amp tone. His mane tone is based on the sans amp he used back in the day. He also uses a pitch shift function to switch between drop b and drop a for certain songs
In this post jim talks about tgi song deathgrips. In the music video he can be seen playing a dingwall combustion. Jim states that while mostly playing music man, he needed a bass with a longer scale to fit the tuning of the song
