I saw your bass on this forum and it just confirmed how much I would like this combo.
Willie congrats on the new Axe, tell me how long was the wait for this beauty?

It took right at 5 months. I think they are getting them out faster now. When I ordered it they did not have any with this wood combo started, so it took a little longer.

Willie obviously you play gospel among other venues, what type of rig are you playing out of? or are you playing through the house system?

I currently have 2 rigs. At church I have a Thunderfunk 550 head (don't let the 550 watts fool you) and a Bergantino HT 322 cabinet. This thing is loud and clean. During church Sunday the comments I got were your bass sounds so much deeper, and cleaner whats different? They noticed that before they realized I had a new bass.

Rig 2 is a Walter Woods High Power Stereo head and another Bergantino HT 322. This rig I keep at home and use it for gigs outside the church. Even though I play for a church I don't feel comfortable leaving the Woods at the church. It is so small someone could walk out the door with it and no one would notice. Plus it takes over a year to get one of his heads. If something happens to the Thunderfunk I could have another one in a few days.

Thanks for keeping it real man, with the type of equipment you have you might consider obtaining insurance. If so holla at me I can direct you to a company that specializes in insuring equipment such as ours.
