Finally posted pics of the rig! AD200B MkIII and Aguilar DB410. My 25 pound Warmoth parts bass- my third arm and main bass since 1995. Solid Walnut Jazz body, maple Jazz neck with Ebony board and bone nut, Schaller hardware, Bartolini Precision and dual coil Jazz pickups with Aguilar OBP-1 18v FET preamp. Note the obligatory Guiness (I had to put it down somewhere to take the pics). The uber-versatile Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synthesizer with Radial switch box, since I don't want to break a second Micro Synth.
mmmmmm drop

Professor,
Back in 1983 I pushed many a shopping cart at the local Richway to save up for that Moonstone. It is the most incredible bass I've ever played. The body is burled maple, mahogany, maple and African padauk; rosewood fingerboard; Bartolini pickups; BadAss II bridge. It has tone that is unbelievable. When I was a senior in high school, my band at the time opened up at a local club for Nantucket. The bass player for Nantucket tried his best to persuade me to sell it to him. It sounds great running directly into the PA, so I never got upset when the sound guys would bring out the direct box. It sounds AWESOME running through the AD200! The headstock in my sig belongs to my Moonstone B95 acoustic bass. I'll get some pictures of that up soon. Check out the site: http://www.moonstoneguitars.com

Korey,
I looked, but couldn't see what the speakers are. With regard to the Moonstones, I have been very lucky. The electric didn't cost as much in 1983 as it would now. On top of that, mine had been sitting in the music store since 1981, so I got it for half price. With regard to the acoustic, I bought it from someone who needed to unload it. It was still expensive, but not nearly as expensive as it might have been. I hadn't played the electric in quite a while, but after spending A LOT of time playing through the AD200 yesterday, it may be a long time before I put it down again. They seem to have been made for each other. Still can't wait for the 115. It will undoubtedly shake the foundation of this building.

Robotfactory,
the guitar is a hagstrom f-200p. It isn't a bad little guitar, and I got it really cheap with a case on ebay. If you can hold out, supposedly reverend guitars is supposed to start offering some lefty models this summer, but take that with a grain of salt...Joe has delayed making them for over a year now.
thanks for the compliments on my drum set...that is my baby, and you can obviously see my addiction for asinine cymbals.
