I currently play two different Zon basses. My main instrument is a Zon Sonus fretless 5 string with the Lightwave optical transducer system. I love this bass, and play it probably 97% of the time. The tone is unlike any other, and the neck is like buttah. It has a stunning flame Koa top, ash body, and wonderful thin graphite neck. My other instrument is a Zon Sonus Custom 5-string fretted with flame Koa top. Beautiful instrument, and it gets a nice slap tone. I only pick it up when I need to do more rock/funk oriented stuff when I need to cut through a mix. Take a look at Joe Zon's great work

Amplification is an Ashdown AHM-500 head with tube and solid state preamps. My main cabinet is an Epifani 2-10, and I also have an EA VL110 that I use for practice and can put on top of the Epi if I need to push a bit more air at bigger gigs. After owning a few different amps, I find the Ashdown/Epifani combination to absolutely nail the sound I'm looking for. In over 30 years of playing music, I have never been as happy with a combination of instrument/amp/cabinet. Lately I've also been playing around with a Summit TLA-50 and Fulltone Bassdrive 2.

For guitar the last "real" setup I had was a Fender 60's relic into a Bogner Shiva head/cabinet with FullTone FullDrive and Choral flange. Amazing stuff, but since I'm not gigging much on guitar these days, I've scaled back to a Warmoth parts guitar with Fralin pickups (ugly but sounds good), and a Line6 PodXT and Johnson J-Station for recording. Lately though I've been recording dry though an Avalon 737 and using IK Multimedia's Amplitube plug in...it is very cool.
