Gear |
Gear Used for Electric Guitar Gigs
Jack has a few guitars that he uses for any gig. A 2020 Kirn Nashville Telecaster, a 2015 Kirn Old Blackie Telecaster, a 2023 PRS NF 53 and a 2010 PRS 305 25th Anniversary.
|
Gear Used for Bass Gigs
He doesn't play any gigs that require a huge bass rig so his MarkBass Little Mark III head and Markbass NY151 cabinet has been able to cover anything he's needed to do. It's 300W at 8 ohm and 500W at 4 ohms. Solid state power and preamp, direct out and will accept either low or high impedance input.
He'll be using his Ibanez SR605E 5 String for everything, it's very versatile and responds well to different right hand positions to alter the tone.
|
Gear Used for Acoustic Gigs
He'll bring his Anderson Crowdster and Martin Performing Artist OMCPA4 for these. The Crowdster is a very acoustic sounding thin bodied acoustic/electric. The OMCPA4 has Fishman F1 Analog electronics.
He has a Fender Acoustasonic 150 2X8 for amplification which works very well. It also has some models of electric amps so it could be used for a gig where both electric and acoustic are needed.
