Gear
 

Thanks to my endorsement partners, I am in the very lucky situation to use premium equipment for my playing (which I could never afford otherwise...). Check out the gear I am currently using:

Ritter Roya 5-String fretted
(Serial no. 0419)

My main instrument with a punchy and flexible sound. This bass can be used in every music style. You can watch the building process of this bass on the  "Bass in progress" page.

Ibanez AEB-10 Acoustic bass

My weapon for unplugged sessions and Latin songs! Very loud, even un-amplified.


 
 

Ovation Celebrity de luxe

A true classic

 


 
 

Ibanez RG 1527

A great axe from Ibanez. upgraded with two humbuckers from DiMarzio: Evolution 7 for the bridge and Air Norton 7 for the neck position

 

 
  Amps and cabinets:



700
RB-II head

A flexible and powerful amplifier with a very versatile sound. True bi-amping with 480 Watts + 50 Watts for the horn.




210RBH bass cabinet

Small but powerful! This 2 x 10" cabinet can easily consist by itself and can stand up to almost every drummer. I say: almost...

 




115
RBH bass cabinet

Just in case if the 210RBH is not enough, I add this monster cabinet. Both cabinets worm the full power out of the amplifier - and can sometimes drive the FOH man crazy!

 

  Effetcs:

 

 

 



Bass POD XT Pro

It is almost impossible to describe this thing in short words. It contains 28 legendary and classic amp models, 22 cabinet & 4 mic models, over 50 stompbox, synth, and studio effects, flexible effect routing, 64 channel memories, biamp output mode with selectable crossover, deep editing, USB digital I/O, built-in chromatic Tuner, full MIDI support, ... ergo every sound you could possibly need live or in the studio.

Plus I'm producing all the sounds of the "Bass Invader" CD with the Bass POD XT Pro when I'm on stage!


 



FBV Shortboard

The FBV Shortboard™ is like having a crew of roadies ready to wheel out an entirely new collection of gear and hook it all up - in time for your next note. With a backlit display that shows where you are, and rugged steel stomp switches and pedal to give you complete control of where you're going.

T² CPC
Custom Bass Capodaster

While I was in Tennessee in fall 2005, I got in need of a capodaster for my bass. Unfortunately you can't get any capos for bass in any music store. So my very good friend Tim Tucker went into his shop and made me a custom bass capo. Works absolutely great and wears my favorite color!


 
 
 


T² RBS
Ritter
Bass Stand

Tim Tucker did it again! While I was rehearsing my songs for live performances, I recognized that sometimes I need to play two basses in the same song. So I asked Tim to build me a custom bass stand for one of my Ritter basses. So here it is: made of steel, powder coated in black, and it doesn't only look kick-ass, but it's also very strong, compact and set-up in 2 minutes. And first of all: it plays fantastic! Now I can switch between the tapped intro of "Stages of ages", which I play on the fretted Roya, to the fretless verse melody without any interruption. Thanks a lot Tim! You did a fantastic job again!
