Dave's Bass Gear
Over the years, I have spent a great deal of time, energy, and money, learning about bass gear. Thankfully, I have been able to gain a basic understanding of the different types of bass equipment and what it is that I like to use.Here's a look at my current collection of bass gear. All of these instruments are played regularly as needed for gigs, recording sessions, and jams. -Dave Gagnon
 MTD 635- Mahogany Body
- Spalted Maple Top
- Maple Neck
- Rosewood Fingerboard
- 35" Scale
- 24 Frets
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System
Whenever I am in need of an extended range bass, this 6-string is my first choice. Even though I am not always able to use the full upper range of this instrument on every gig, the lower register sounds so good that I find it hard to leave this bass at home!
 Fodera NYC-5 Deluxe- Ash Body
- Quilted Maple Top
- Maple Fingerboard
- 34" Scale
- 21 Frets
- Mike Pope 2-Band Pre-Amp
Here is a bright sounding 5-string that can really cut through a mix. It is comfortable to play and is balanced very well for both standing and sitting posture. I really like the Pope/Fodera electronics. They sound natural to me, and cut or boost just the right frequencies. There is also an active/passive switch that I really like too!
 Modulus Quantum 4 - Alder Body
- Quilted Maple Top
- Carbon Fiber Neck
- Composite Fingerboard
- 35" Scale
- Bartolini Pickups
- 3-Band Preamp
This was my main instrument for about 6 years before I decided to get into extended range basses. This is a killer instrument!
 Mike Lull V4- Light-Weight Ash Body
- Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard
- 34" Scale
- 21 Frets
- Passive Electronics
- Hipshot D-Tuner
Mike Lull makes some great sounding basses that are super light-weight! I purchased this bass directly from the Mike Lull Custom Guitars shop in Bellevue, Washington.I brought this Mike Lull Jazz Bass into the studio to record for a Philadelphia Music Producer and he loved it! He said that it was a lot "smoother" sounding than other basses. It really sits in the recording mix quite well, especially with a slight low-end boost.
