Equipment List:

I favor the classic Fender-style instruments for playability and sound, and a "rhythm section player" approach.

I love this quote from Andrew Challoner's website, gear list page: "Fender P-Bass with a rosewood fingerboard and Badass II bridge. THE traditional sound for bass. Covers any style and sounds like a bass should."

Precision strung with Rotosound RS77LD flatwounds,
Precision strung with D'Addario EXL170 roundwounds,
Precision strung with D'Addario EXL220 roundwounds.
