Jay
2002:
- A Sears jazz short scale; this was his first bass, but was stolen by Jack from TSOL
- A Telecaster bass copy, which hurt his fingers because the playing action was so bad
- For recording How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (1980), he used a Rickenbacker 4000 with a single pick-up. He broke it on stage at the Country Club in Reseda, around 1983. Jay: "Not on purpose, mind you, I just ran into someone onstage and the neck snapped. No, Ricks are pretty fragile, especially the neck (now they tell me). I don't remember what happened after that, but I have a picture of me at the Country Club playing a P-bass that isn't mine, around the same time, so... I guess I played someone else's guitar."
The headstock of the Rickenbacker 4000 can be seen on the Suffer lyric sheet, where it's coming out from the hole in the wall just around the lightswitch.
- A Peavey T-40 that he used for awhile in Wasted Youth, which he thinks was pretty good but was stolen
- A G&L L-1000 (one of the first), which he liked that bass a lot. He traded it for a p.a.
- An Aria Pro II SB-1000
- A brown (actually wine) '78 Fender Precision Antigua fretless, that he regrets having traded
- A Hamer Explorer bass that he used on the 2002 The Process of Belief North American tour
- A white Fender Precision, which he loved but only had for 6 months; it was stolen in Vancouver [1991/1992]
- An Epiphone Les Paul Special, which is actually his son's, but he doesn't use it on stage
- Two 1978 Fender Precision basses [October 2009]
- Two Epiphone Jack Casady basses [October 2009]
- Two Schecter basses, one of which is white [October 2009]
- An Ampeg SVT CL head
- An Ampeg SVT CL 8x10 cabinet
- He uses P-basses because the Jazz bass is too thin at the nut for his hands. He also likes the sound of a single PU more for his style of playing. The jazz bass just doesn't work at all for him in BR
- He only plays with a pick. When playing with his fingers he isn't fast enough
- Never made a pick with his name on it, they either say 'whatever' or 'Bad Religion'
Trivia
Brian: "(...) When I joined the band I couldn't believe that no one bought a tuner until 1994. Punk, huh?"
