Equipment

Chris’ current equipment list…
I have been a member of the Overwater family for around 15 years. I first approached Chris May because he was the only person importing the US-made Conklin basses and I wanted a Conklin 7-string. He didn’t have one at the time but he had just built the first Overwater 7-string and he suggested I try it out. I tried it, I loved it and the rest is history. I no longer have the 7 string but I still have 2 Overwaters and they are the greatest instruments I’ve ever owned.

I have recently switched to Aguilar amplifiers from Markbass and I’m loving it. It’s the sound I’ve always heard in my head. My gear is housed in a flightcase made by BCS manufacturing, whose premises I can see from my house. A local business!

I first came across Diago when I was searching for a power supply
solution for my pedalboard.  The Powerstation seemed to fit the
bill and it has been insanely reliable ever since. I also have their
largest pedalboard, the Tourman and my BEF pro is powered via
a Diago Isolator to elimiate interference caused by my combination
of digital and analogue pedals. I have also recently taken delivery of
a few sets of their new ‘Twistlock’ straplock design which are an
amazing new take on strap attachment.
