gear - I'm partial to strats over les pauls. G&L's are my fetish. Also have; Martin, Alverez, Guild, Yamaha, Dean, Andreas, Fender and a Kramer. A guitarists perfect tone only lasts a few months before the reoccurring search begins again. Now I just bounce back and forth between my Marshall's and Fender's. However, when it's a bigger venue or I don't mind carrying the heavy beast, I bring the Boogie. Once I got my first Boogie amp I ditched all the effects cuz the sound of 13 tubes can't really be improved upon. That was a decade ago. I've recently picked up one stomp box which spends most of the night turned off. I used to play my Roland synth at the gigs but not anymore. I play SWR Bass gear and Pearl Drums. AKG wireless guitar. On stage I use Shure Mics. I prefer the beta 87 but use the beta 58 when there's no phantom power. I recently invested in in-ear monitors which have lifted me from being a mediocre singer to mildly adequate. But the key to my sound and success is definitely my obsession with velcro, it's like high tech duct tape.
