"I am also very grateful to Tom for finding me the Vuillaume Bass that I now play..."

Yamaha's TRBJP2 official website

He used ENR71-5 d'addario for all his 6 strings basses. Very round and thick sounding and less finger noise

"...and for building my Martin Bass incorporating all the things I look for as a Jazz player."

“Man, FELiX sounds great! And it really helps because it eliminates another piece of gear for me. Now, I have everything I need in a single unit: the mic preamp for my acoustic bass, great EQ, and flexible I/O. It works great for my electric bass too. Home-run! Killer!"

Renowned bassist John Patitucci utilizes the Aguilar GS 410 bass amplifier cabinet, known for its ability to deliver a full, punchy tone at any volume. This cabinet's focused sound and efficient design make it ideal for various playing techniques, including fingerstyle, pick, slapping, and tapping, as highlighted on Aguilaramp's official site.

"The Radial Bassbone gives me 2 channels so I can use my electric and acoustic basses while using only one channel on my amp. Finally, my sound gets sent to the PA system by a clean, built-in DI that sounds consistently great!"
