Basses

Phil has a long and fruitful association with Overwater Basses. He has been a user since 1989 when Chris made him a matching pair of Six String Basses which Phil still uses. He even visited the factory during his honeymoon in 1990 (thanks Caroline!) for a most romantic interlude. Well the basses did need a service....
Phil's most recent Overwaters are a stunning matching pair of Jazz Basses, one fretted and one fretless. Both these basses use the John East J-Retro circuit, Bartolini pickups and Hipshot hardware.
Phil also owns two early Squier basses, a P and a J. Both are fitted with Bareknuckle pickups.

Amplification

Phil is currently using a Euphonic iamp-500 with the NL210 neo cab.

Outboard

Phil uses the Tech 21 Sans Amp Bass Driver for DI purposes both live and in the studio.

Effects include the Boss OC-2 Octaver, AW-3 Dynamic Filter, Bel Electrolabs ADT (he has three...), and the Visual Sound Volume Pedal.
