EQUIPMENT
Everything needed to express myself musically and do a gig!! 4 & 5 string basses, 6 string guitars. Riotously visually unimpressive, but very portable amplification suitable for most live work (If I ever do get to play Wembley, I can always hire). TBH, if you’re actually interested in an equipment list beyond what I’ve stated, you’re probably not what I’m looking for.
