Carter Gravatt
Multi-instrumentalist for a band called Carbon
Leaf, Carter writes: "I'm playing a Gibson F5L with an L. R.
Baggs pickup or the Schertler mic through a system by Daedalus (Pendulum
preamp, TC electronics Triple-C compressor, BSS EQ, Hafler power amp,
Daedalus monitor). I also have a Rigel
G110. I'm also using a Trinity College bouzouki on nights when we have
more room on stage. My electric is a Ron
Oates. It is a 5-string with an extra 5 frets, tuned GDAEB. I play
it with a capo at the fifth fret most of the time. It has two Bill Lawrence
humbuckers and an acoustic pickup on the bridge. It is also hollow. It
runs through a stack of pedals into a Mesa Boogie Mark 4 into a Boogie
2/12. Ron is building me a koa mandolin. It will have the same pickups,
single cutaway, same scale."
