I think this is a very odd question.
I have never been guided by a "Name" and have always gone with what sounds, plays the best for the money I can spend (when my wife lets me, Ta very much luv ) Even then I don't stay with one make and do try differant and new stuff to my normal. Although I do have favs, this does change if something better comes along, but it really does need to be a lot better.
I use
SWR Workingmans 1X15 combo
G&L Astat bass
Bass Collection J Series fretless
La Bella flat wounds (heavy)
Monster Pro cables
EBS chorus, drive & octivide
Boss TU2
Peddle Train
And me to make it sound amazing
