Mikey in the video at 9:56 says, "I have a POG for certain songs."

In the Instagram post by Mikey Way, the API TranZformer LX can be seen positioned behind his custom sparkly Jazz bass. The distinctive red knobs identify it as the LX model.

Used by Way on the My Chemical Romance Reunion Tour between 2019 and 2023. This bass was likely also used when recording The Foundations Of Decay. The example Way used was actually produced by Fender Custom Shop, however finished to the exact spec of the production version, with the exception of chrome pickup and bridge covers, which Way took off anyway.

When Mikey joined Fall Out Boy on stage to play Saturday on July 1st 2023, he borrowed Pete Wentz' Sterling Ray 34 bass

In this 2019 Instagram post, Way shows off his two new Fender Custom Shop Jazz Basses, Specced identically to his 2023 Fender Signature Series Jazz Bass, however featuring chrome 'ashtray' bridge and pickup covers, which were removed by the time this image was posted but can be found in recordings of him and guitarist Frank Iero (with his Dakota Red Jazzmaster) taking delivery of the guitars. The pair of guitars were finished in Gloss Silver Sparkle (like his production signature) and Black respectively. However the black one was seldom used live and likely tuned to E flat, as opposed to the usual E standard of most MCR songs.

In this video of My Chemical Romance playing in Chicago in 2003, Mikey way can be spotted using this strap throughout the show.

The Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive pedal can be seen on the ground in front of Mikey Way's Ampeg 810E cabinet in the provided image. This evidence supports that Mikey Way uses the Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive.


Based on an image from the My Chemical Romance "Long Live" tour shared by Rocksound on Twitter, bassist Mikey Way is seen playing a Fender Jazz Bass with a "Candy Apple Red" finish. This bass closely resembles the 2010 Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass, aligning with the band's aesthetic and the production timeline.

Mikey Way is known to use Schaller Security Locks for Guitar Straps, as they are visible on most of his basses, including his main Jazz Bass, as evidenced by the provided image.

Mikey Way is confirmed to use Schaller S-Locks Strap Locks on his newer basses, as seen in the 2025 Rig Rundown hosted by Premier Guitar.

According to Mikey Way's bass tech in the 2025 Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar, Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Bass Strings (45-105) are his primary choice for all the tunings he uses.

In the 2025 Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar, it is confirmed that Mikey Way uses Clayton Acetyl Rounded Triangle Guitar Picks .63 mm.

Mikey Way's tech confirmed that he uses Dunlop Tortex Sharp 0.73mm Guitar Picks interchangeably with Clayton Triangle picks, both in the same gauge, as mentioned in the Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video featuring My Chemical Romance.

At 45:50 in the video "My Chemical Romance Rig Rundown with Frank Iero, Ray Toro & Mikey Way" by Premier Guitar on YouTube, Mikey Way's technician, Joe Saucedo, displays an Origin Effects DCX Bass Tone Shaper & Drive Preamplifier in a drawer within a rack, confirming its inclusion in Mikey Way's pedal setup.

At 45:50 in the Premier Guitar video "My Chemical Romance Rig Rundown with Frank Iero, Ray Toro & Mikey Way," the Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Pedal is visible in the same drawer within the rack, confirming its use by bassist Mikey Way.

At 46:34 in the video "My Chemical Romance Rig Rundown with Frank Iero, Ray Toro & Mikey Way" by Premier Guitar, an MXR M287 Sub Octave Bass Fuzz pedal is visibly connected to Mikey Way's pedalboard.

This bass first appeared on the 2005 Warped Tour, and was used to record The Black Parade and subsequent touring. It is finished in Chrome Silver, a somewhat rare colour. It was fitted with a Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound pickup.

In this video you can see Mikey using an Ampeg SVT-AV, his main amp until he started using the SVT-CL later in the tour cycle for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
