I've been playing on Dean basses since 1983. I still have my first Dean Bel Aire 4 string.
1983 Dean Bel Aire 4 string - Metalic red
1996 Dean Edge 1 4 string - Trans Black
2001 Dean Performer Acoustic 4 string
2004 Dean Edge 1 5 string - Metalic Red
2006 Dean Edge Pro 5 stirng - Tiger Eye
Adding a standup Double Bass and a 2007 Dean Hardtail 5 string in the next couple of months. Tax write off for 2007
Amps:
Hartke 3500
QSC 850 (slave amp)
Looking at adding a Genz Benz or Ampeg for 2007,
or a second Hartke for backup
Cabs:
Hartke 4x10
Laney 4X12
Madison 2x15
My main setup is the Hartke 3500 with the 2x15 and 4x10 cabs. More than enough for most stages. For those times I require huge sound, I slave the QSC (2x15 and 4x12) from the Hartke (4x10). But that is overkill for almost everything. For small events or tight quarters, the Hartke with the 4x10 is plenty. I always use a DI to the board.
I also have a Montana (Kaman) Acoustic 6 string that I run through a Peavey Musician when I'm composing/recording. And a couple of yamaha keyboards for recording.
