Lately Ive been using Audix VX 10 for my vocals. Its got a really rich velvety mid/low range, but still has a lot of power on the top. If that doesnt work in the particular room, the true road dog sure fire mic is the Sure Beta 87.

I usually record with the CAD Equitek 300. For the money its the most wicked chick singer microphone. My vocals on Ten Cent Wings, most of Steady Pull, and all of Back in the Circus were recorded on my Equitek.

For guitars, Ive got a fabulous blue telecaster re-issue from my pal Knud at Fender in Denmark. A gorgeous Guild Valencia from the custom shop in Nashville, courtesy of Billy Siegle and Al and Ed!! I had the most precious little guild F-30 that was stolen two summers ago in Portland, and a 52 telecaster re-issue too, (both courtesy of Billy Siegle) may they at least be bringing someone some beautiful music. My oldest road warrior is a Maple, Guild Jumbo. Always sounds amazing. The acoustics all have the Fishman Matrix saddle pick-up and I run it through a Pendulum pre-amp live. I also have a SURE wireless system for the band tours.

My other beloved guitars are two custom made Olsons. Made by James Olson, Circle Pines, Minnesota. Just stunning, lovely forever guitars. Cedar top, rosewood backs.

I also plan to start bringing my Wurlitzer on the road. Its a 200 B model. Lovingly restored by Mark Ross in Los Angeles.

At home I work on a beat up old Student Wurlitzer, 50's green, speakers intact!! And a Korg Trinity workstation.

Ive got Digi 002 rig for catching stuff in my home studio, and a Midiman M-Audio rig that I can take with me anywhere.
