Wolfgang Van Halen's Gear
"I own many basses but my favourite would have to be my black with silver stripe Stealth Wolfgang bass. Its one of two that exists. The other one is the black with yellow stripe, built for me in 2011 by Chip Ellis at EVH/Fender. Chip is the master builder for all EVH brand guitars. We’re working on bringing my Wolfgang bass to market. I’m really excited about that, because I think if people could play it and know what I know about how perfectly balanced and amazing-sounding it is, they would embrace it big time."

"I used my custom black with silver stripe ‘Stealth’-finished Wolfgang four-string bass and my custom ‘Wolfenstein’ J-Bass, which is blue with white and black Frankenstein graphic. I do not play a five- string or six-string because I feel like I’m still trying to figure out how to play four strings. Any more than that and it gets a bit overwhelming… for me at least."
