EQUIPMENT
History Jazz Bass from Fender Fujigen Factory - active pickups, sunburst, lovely bass
Amplification to be bought soon - formerly used Hartke stack, Ashdown combos for bass
Yamaha 5-piece Fusion acoustic drum kit with full Sabian AAX setup
Some budget to invest in right kit for right sound if required - got more kit between myself and brother, who is a very competent musician (commerical music degree, and songwriting masters) and may also be interested in starting a band (piano, acoustic, vocals)
