both on stage and in the recording studio.

Item
Description
Bridge Aquila 4 string electric violin
Superb sounding hollow bodied carbon fibre and kevlar electric violin, with custom pickup.
Bridge Lyra 5 string electric violin
Same again, but with 5 strings. My main live instrument.
Bridge 8ve electric violin.
Brilliant new violin from Bridge, this time giving me cello range, down to the 'g' string.
Custom Mark Wood Viper. 6 string fretted electric violin.
Superb custom purple instrument. Uses a chest support system for complete movement. No left arm or chin/shoulder to hold the instrument up.
4 string acoustic.
My grandfathers violin. I still use this instrument to practise on. Superb sound.
Headway VL1.
Active violin pickup with pre-amp.
Adam Sweet Carbon Fibre Fiddlers Bow.
Still in the prototype stage, but a fantastic bow. Not as controllable as the Incredibows but enormously powerful.
Incredibow Lightweight bow.
Literally an Incredible low cost CF bow with synthetic hair. Very controlable.
Incredibow Aururabow Realis.
A fantastic live bow from Incredibow, changes colour in the light.
Incredibow Cello bow.
I use this for playing the Viper.
Musicary bow.
Carbon fibre bow, in white. This bow has so much bite, it's unbelievable. Incredibly fast playing can be achieved, lol.
Gelrest.
A synthetic gel pack chin rest which makes the rest more comfortable, and helps reduce the "Nigel Kennedy" neck growth.
Boss GT-5 floor effects unit, with midi control x 2.
Excellent multi effects unit. I DI straight into the mixing desk with this. No need for amps and speakers, I just model them. I have one for main use, and one for backup.
Boss GX-700 guitar effects unit, with midi control.
A rack mount version of my favourite, the GT5.
Gibson Echoplex rack mounting looping delay unit.
I can build up huge orchestral looping textures, jam on top, and link for midi equipment such as drum machines.
TC Electronic FireworX rack mounting effects processor.
This machine is a bit special. Rather than the normal reverb/chorus type effects, this processor allows resonant filters, vocoding and more.
Digitech Studio Quad V2 rack mounting effects unit.
Used for extra thickening reverbs mainly. Midi controlled from the GT5.
Digitech Studio 400 rack mounting effects unit.
Double the power of the Quad, not using it much atm, building it into a new rack.
DMC Ground Control Plus Midi control system.
allowing me to control up to 8 individual pieces of midi equipment. Very programmable, and built like a tank (good for me).
Samson E62 rack mounting stereo 31 band e.q.
Used for sound tweaking. I use a stereo unit so I can have live and studio settings.
Trantec S3500 radio transmitter.
Good quality transmitter, never breaks up, even open air. Has multiple frequency setup.
LA Audio Di2 mk3 active D.I. box.
High quality, sonically invisible D.I. box for feeding a mike input on a mixing desk.
Thomastik Dominant and Superflex violin strings.
High quality, expensive violins strings. I just wish I didn't break them so easily, (note to myself - must learn to play normally).
