Duff McKagan—the bassist of the legendary rock band Guns N' Roses and artist behind numerous solo albums—recently sat down with Reverb to discuss the music gear he's used throughout his career.
On the heels of the release of his latest solo record, Lighthouse, McKagan talked about everything from his first bass to his first signature Fender model, the intense rehearsals that let GNR's first albums explode out of the studio, and the tried-and-true bass rig he's used for years and years.
These days, Duff is endorsed by a who's who of gear manufacturers, including Fender, Gallien Krueger, Rotosound, Jim Dunlop, Shure, TC Electronics, and Radial Engineering.
