Me & my SG, oh & where would we be without the '66 Ampeg 'Jet' & the R212R 'ReverbeRocket'....Mostly myself though a number of talented musicians and singers have joined me over the years...I use a variety of acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins,
recorder, keyboards & synthesizers, samples, basses and electric and acoustic drums, didgeridoo...
that being said I also love hand drums and percussion of various sorts and from various parts of the world (tablas, djembe, kalumba, etc)....I use it sparingly or to a fault depending on what kind of mood I'm in (ha)...and ANYTHING that has a strange or different percussive sound I will use....
I will pretty much play or use anything I can figure out how to play and I'm always looking....oh I just got cool new analog gear, and glad of that we all are....
the Mu-Tron Micro V Envelope Filter!I've done a little updating on my bass-rigg...dig it!Of course where would I be with out my accountants...
