DiGiorgio plays custom ESP basses, custom made for him. He is mostly seen with a F-series fretless 5-string bass in a dark green finish, but also uses a very unusual double-neck construction with a fretted and a fretless neck in one body. He has also been seen playing
Conklin and Tobias basses in the past. He uses Ampeg SVT Classic amps and cabinets by Ampeg and Randall. [(June 2007) Guitar World's Bass Guitar Magazine]References
