Of all of my basses these are my main two:

The G&L ASAT has been my main workhorse since I bought it in '95. Any given night of the week you will generally find me playing it

The Hamer 12-String I recently acquired and I discovered that it does wonders with an acoustic duo act that I play with

Also, I got TI Jazz flats on the HRP and Super Slinky rounds on the Stingray. Oranges and Tangerines.

Man, you have awesome gear! I see everything that is right in the world of bassdom - a Stingray, a P/J, 12" speakers and a nice, clean amp.

I don't really have a number one, just a number two...kind of a bummer when you only have one bass ;)

I came to the conclusion that I needed a custom designed instrument that would meet my very exacting requirements. After about 18 months worth of R&D, well over $5000 of my own money invested, as well as many hours of trial and error production, I managed to build what I believe is my number "1".


http://www.projectsandhobbies.com/Washtub-Bass2.jpg

I've also written an instructional pamphlet which I believe will be a huge seller. It covers amy of the more intricate technical skills required by the instrument.
