I wish I had a bass cuz sometimes I'd like to play in a bass line, rather than trigger one, but hey, money doesn't grow on trees, right?

I got an Ibanez Soundgear bass as well. Hey Darin, basses are kind of easy to get a good sound out of, IMHO. I mean, a $100 Ibanez will never sound like a Warwick but with a little setup work and a pickup swap you can get a good sounding/playing bass for cheap. I got my Ibeenhad for free The output jack had fried and I needed only to replace the jack!

I use really heavy strings, from .10 to as much as .58 on the low E, gives it a lot of thick low end bite, which sounds GOOD to me.
Pedals- boss Fuzz and overdive, tremolo, Ibanez tube screamer, big muff.
Amps - i've got an old 70's Traynor, a kind of dirty Twin, nice drive on it. I'm into that dirty sort of Jon Spencer guitar sound, so generally play using only amp distortion, and just play quieter/louder for less or more grit.

but there cool if yer not into bend strings alot. The more metal over the pickups and all that. Fender jazzmasters sound shit anyway if ya dont have heavy gauge strings.....

I have a Fender Jaguar, Epiphone Sheraton, and a cheap (but awesome) yamaha strat-style for electrics. For acoustics I have a 1971 Martin D-18 and an old Hoffner 12 string acoustic/electric that my dad bought in italy when he went to europe as a teenager. I also have a really awesome mid-80's Ibanez Roadstar II bass with a birdseye maple top that i bought at a pawn shop when i was 16.
I use a russian built Sovtek MIG60 tube head, and for pedals i have a boss metal zone, electro harmonix small stone, and a dunlop crybaby, thought the latter two get more use as studio fx than stompboxes.

After doing a little more research, I find out that it seems like Shack's carbon stuff was his easy shit. You should see some of his woodwork. OMG! Some of his instruments go for around $6000US new, but take a look and see why...
Mine probably went for around 4. I picked it up in Paris, used for just under 2. That was a steal.

The pickups he uses are the sickest. Except for the tuning pegs, I believe he has designed and built it all himself. Check out his bridge and saddle designs. This guy is serious about getting the whole instrument to work. He even throws on a 25th fret just to get the shit slapped out of it, so you don't wear out your playable range.
Hope that gives you a little more insight. At the end of the day, you just have to hear it.

My next major purchase will, without a shadow of a doubt, be a Roland VG-88.
