GARY'S BASS RIG

GARY SAYS, "The only bass guitar I'll ever need..." is an Ernie Ball
MUSICMAN STINGRAY-5 with an internal Aguilar preamp. Contrary
to that quote, Gary carrys a FENDER JAZZ 5-string Bass guitar for
back-up
and plays a 1941 KAY "doghouse" upright bass with Fishman BP-100
pick-ups for that "old-timey sound." His processing & amplification rig
consists of:

SWR SM-900

DOC'S KEYS RIG

KEYBOARD #1: Korg CX-3 digital tone wheel
organ
KEYBOARD #2: Roland VK-7 digital tone wheel organ
MODULE #1:
Roland XV-2020
MODULE #2: Alesis Nano-piano
AMPLIFIER: KXR Fender
100 (1-15 & horn) keyboard amp
DOC SAYS, "I'm completely connected at the hip with my
CX-3!!! I believe it to be the closest thing to a real Hammond B-3
out there today. I custom built the organ and the XV-2020 module
into a wood finished case with folding legs, that gives the appearance of
a chopped hammond. One of the great features of the CX-3 is the
electronic leslie effect...you will swear there's a spinning horn and
baffle right behind you! I use the XV-2020 for piano patches mainly,
but it has hundreds of great instrument sounds. The VK-7 and the
Nano-Piano make a great back-up rig. I use this combination for
rehearsals and gigs with a lot of stairs (oh, my achin' back - I knew I
should've taken up the harmonica!). The Fender KXR amp has plenty of
power and tone, and is easy enough to load and transport, and that's
important...believe me, I know!!!"
