Warmoth Custom P Bass: $900 [EDIT: SOLD]
The neck is unfinished roasted maple. It feels smooth and soft. The body is made of koa. The frets are standard size for modern P basses. The pickups are Lindy Fralin P Bass wound 5% hot. The bridge is a Hipshot. All the hardware is top notch. It's a modern sounding bass, due to the koa. I feel that koa wood handles low end much "tighter", where as ash can feel more "mushy". The bass sounds clean and pairs up with pedals really well. The combination of the koa and the hotwound pickups have a much brighter tone on the top end and for that you can get a lot of clarity and I find that the result is getting more range out of the tone knob. Comparing this to my '77 P bass, they are almost entirely different animals. The Warmoth is definitely more versatile and hotter sounding. The '77 is what it is. The Warmoth has been used a lot since I built it (I think 2015?), so it has some minor knicks and scratches. All around solid bass. Comes with the SKB hardshell case in the photos.

2015 Custom Reverend Double Agent: $800
This custom build is strait from Reverend: the fretboard is rosewood, as opposed to maple; the pick guards are black, as opposed to tortoise -- on the black model. I wanted something really sleek, and they were happy to oblige since the neck is bolt on and was easy to swap out. Everything else is what you would find on a Double Agent: P90 style neck pickup, double humbucker style bridge pickup, a solid trem system (this thing is really hard to get out of tune), and locking tuners. One thing I really love about all Reverends is the low frequency cut knob. You can really shape your tone. Or, leave all the pots at 100% and fucking rip. The body is koa and the neck is maple. The guitar has a very clean, very defined sound, which I think the koa adds a lot to, not just from the pickups. If I compare this to my Les Paul Studio, I would say that the Les Paul makes everything sound dirty with those humbuckers, even when trying to be clean and has a relatively lower volume output; the Reverend is very clean, you have to really push to make it dirty. For example, my Les Paul was almost unusable on a Fender Bassman, if I wanted to get any clean tones, even with an attenuator. The Rev paired really nicely with that amp in contrast, making the Bassman more than a one-trick pony. Comes with the Roadrunner gray tweed hardshell case shown in the pictures.

Akai MPK49 Midi Controller: $175
It's an MPK49, nothing special about it other than what it does.
EDIT: Fixed images
(Seriously, when I got it I was thinking of you and doing some of that weird guitar shit in the old practice land.)
