What tools do these apes utilise to make it all happen?

Musical Instruments

Fender Squire Stratocaster

Equipped with a Floyd Rose locking top walk and whammy bar, this guitar is the main workhorse on all of our songs.

Given that is has 6 strings instead of the usual 4 Pete expects to find on a stringed instrument, it is confusing and unnatural and yet it sounds pretty good.

So far we only use stock Logic plug-ins and amp sims for tone, but we are sure that it will eventually be treated properly hahaha...

Fender USA Geddy Lee Series Jazz Bass

Pete's dream bass.

The Geddy Lee signature bass is a joy to play.  Its the only bass used so far on all songs.

Again, only using stock Logic plug-ins and amp sims, it will one day be mic'd up and recorded via my Ampeg stack.

However, the tones we are able to get thus far make it sound like the beast it is.
