EQUIPMENT
Black 1989 George Benson GB30 my bebop and straight ahead axe. Purple Burst Ibanez RV470 (Strat) which is my current all rounder and a couple of other guitars. VOXAC30 tube Amp, Mesa Boogie .50cal and a vintage Lab Series L9. I use a pretty generic pedal board a digitech GNX3, I am not a huge effects guy, but it has everything I need when I need it. Compact and quick to set - up.
