Custom Fretless 5 String made by Jeff Chapman
Based on a Tobias Pro Classic this bass is made from a single piece of African Mahogany (that was previously a shelf in a school!) which was salvaged by Jeff and made into this beautiful bass. The fingerboard is a slab of ebny (as is the ramp between the pickups) - the electronics are EMG pickups with an EMG 3-band EQ - it plays and sounds great!
The Tone Hammer is my ideal amp - small and powerful with a wonderful warmth for a solid state unit that can fit in your gig bag!
Wonderful super-light Aguilar bass cabs

Amps, Cabs and Tech
I use an Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 amp and two SL112 speakers - plus various pedals - and an increasingly integrated mix of pedals and Ableton Live 10, Keith McMillen Softstep foot-controller. I also use a Focusrite 4Pre Thunderbolt soundcard, Push 2 controller and other tech... I also use Ultimate Ears UE11 Pro IEMS - truly awesome in-ear monitors
