He used the moog taurus 3 on crack the skye. Sometimes he uses it live, but he's always switching in and out different things.
His most famous bass hasn't been mentioned- the Fender Prophecy II, the precursor of the Fender Aerodyne.
His amp setup is split into two- one set for his bass, another for the Moog Taurus. For his bass, he runs through a Fern DI, and mics up the Ampeg SVT for cleans. He blends in a dirty signal, similarly to Justin Chancellor (who he got the idea from) and Dirk Lance by running his signal through the Big Muff and the Mesa Titan V12 with a Mesa 810 cab.
The Moog goes through it's own signal chain, going through a Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 with a 412 cab(great for handling the low end). His rack includes an Ampeg SVT-4PRO head, the mentioned Monster Power conditioner, and a Shure wireless system.
