While his setup changes subtly from time to time, this has been Greg's performing rig since Winter 2000. Greg performs primarily on a 12-string Paduak Stick, built in 2000, with an active Block Stick Enterprises pickup. He also occasionally uses his 1995 rosewood 10-string, with a Standard SE pickup. The 12-string is in the Matched Reciprocal tuning and the 10-string is tuned to the Baritone Melody/standard bass variation of Emmett's Stick tuning.

Greg's speaker of choice these days is a pair of Bag End S15LX-D full-range bass cabinets
