Vergrössern Fender '72 Jazz Bass
70s JazzBass in fairly good condition. It good refretted at some point and i built in Kloppmann JB pickups, apart from that all parts are original. The body is alder.
Vergrössern Tokai '84 Hard Puncher
Tokai Precision Replica from 1984. I built in Kloppmann PB '57 pickups.
Vergrössern Tokai '79 Hard Puncher
Tokai Precision Replica from 1979. I built in Seymour Duncan 'Antiquity' pickups.
Vergrössern Gibson '78 RD Artist
This model was only built from '77 to '81 and this is a '78 which is in a total original condition. The bass has active Moog electronics which makes it a very versatile studio-axe. Unfortunately, it's quite heavy....
Vergrössern Paul Zagler Custom Jazz Bass
Passive Fender Style bass custom made by Paul Zagler. Special features: 35"- scale, Tesla pickups and electronics that enables me to switch between singlecoil and humbucker (serial as well as parallel). Plus, the neck is extra thick which affects the sound in a positive way. The body is ash.
Vergrössern Lakland Deluxe 55-94
This is a great working axe, very versatile. The 35"- scale makes for agreat sustain and the Swamp Ash Body has a warm,smooth tone. Flamed maple top, Bartolini pickups.
Vergrössern Fender Precision Bass
Mexiko-Fender from '93. I learned to play on this bass (more or less...). I got a Schaller Bridge and Tesla pickups in it.
Vergrössern Ibanez '72 Jazz Bass
1972 Jazz Bass replica. Japanese instruments built around that time mostly have a very high quality. I put Tesla pickups in it. The body is mahogany.
Vergrössern Hoyer '66 Semiaccoustic Bass
Semiaccoustic bass from 1966. Sounds very sexy plugged as well as unplugged.
Vergrössern Marleaux Custom Consat 5 bolt on
Great High End bass. This is my axe for solistic playing, I converted it to a E-A-D-G-C five string. Dibetou Body, Movingui frise top, Bartolini pickups.
Vergrössern MusicMan StingRay 5 Fretless
Sounds beautiful... I put 7 layers of lacquer on the
fretboard to get a more singing tone. I practise a lot on
this bass; keeps my fingers in shape.
Vergrössern Aria Pro II Primary Bass
A quality bass guitar that was made by Matsumoku in 1978.
Vergrössern Gewa Kontrabass
I got it 5 years ago, pretty cheap but it sounds fine.
I got Underwood Piezo pickups in the bridge and I
use a Fishman preamp.
Vergrössern Ampeg SVT-Classic Top
Since I got this top I hardly ever use anything else;
six 6550 power tubes make for a punchy yet warm sound that always cuts through. The only problem: it's very heavy.
Vergrössern Aguilar AG-500 Top
2 channel solid state top with 500 watts @ 4 ohm. Sounds great and weighs only 8 kilos.
Vergrössern Epifani UL2-310
At first, I got this Epifani cabinet to do my back a favor - with its just about 20 kilos, it's almost carried onto the stage by itself. After all, I was even more impressed by the power (750 watts) and by the sound of this lightweight. Highly recommended!
Vergrössern Ampeg SVT-610 HLF Box
I always use it in combination with the Classic. I think it has got a less aggressive sound than the 8x10; and it weighs about 45 pounds less.
Vergrössern Manley Dual Mono Tube D. I.
Well, a DI-box. But this one does its job particularly well.
Vergrössern Effects
The signal always runs through a Peterson Tuner and through a Toadworks True Bypass Box, to be able to bypass the effects loop without any signal loss. The effects loop consists of a Boss OC-2 octaver, an Electro Harmonix Octave Multiplexer, an Electro Harmonix Q-Tron+, a DOD Gonkulator Modulator, a MoogerFooger Low Pass Filter (often with an expression pedal) and a Sans Amp GT2. After the True Bypass Box, the signal goes through a Yamaha FC-9 volume pedal. For power supply I am using a Cioks Schizophrenic powerstation. The whole board is connected with George L's cables.
Vergrössern Epiphone Valve Junior
I got this 5 watts - guitaramp to get some extra dirt for rock gigs. I replaced the preamp- and the poweramp-tube by JJ tubes.
