Ok Here are the tools I use to try and get my tone. Isn't that the curse of all musicians? TONE! The inventory can change at any given time!

First off,  the guitars of choice are my Dipinto Galaxie's  I have a white one and a red one. The white one is the one I use most of the time. The red one as a backup. These guitars are awesome! Thanks Chris Dipinto for creating such a great guitar. Check out his website and tell him Ronnie sent you! He has been so kind as to include me on his website as one of "The Official Dipinto Artist's".  Others that use this guitar are The Los Straitjackets, Dick Dale, Conan O'brien and an array of others.

My amp is a 72 Silverface Vibrolux Reverb. I have vintage Jensen c10n speakers in this amp.   I have marked the knobs with whiteout so I always know where to have my amp set at.  The nice thing is, I can see the marks on the most dim lit stage.  It's a bit beat up but I love this amp. My back up amp is my 66 Blackface Fender Bassman that has been converted to a 2x10 combo unit. I use a Fender "clone"  Reverb with this amp.

Here we have my pedal board. (Bottom Row, L to R ) Boss TU-2 Tuner, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, Rocktron Austin Gold Overdrive, Ibanez TS-10 Tubescreamer. (Top Row, L to R) Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb ( I only use this as a backup "just in case"), AKG SR40 Wireless Receiver, Homemade on/off switch for the amps tremolo. The Pedal Board is made by "Gator"  It was a gift from "Johnny IPLAYLOUD" Guitarist for the band "The Outpatients" out of NYC.
