Mike plays a $30 Cort "shit" bass that he bought form Linden Allen. Mike plays through Stan's amp. Mike's style of bass is known as "shit" because it's a piece of crap with strings and pick ups on it. The volume knob serves no purpose (it is set on one volume: loud). The main reason he bought it is because he had to many stickers and he needed a place to stick them. He also has a patch cord that he plugs into a half busted kereoke "shit" machine that costs more than his bass. He also has a $10 "shit" microphone that he stole from Loren Mindell. He has a nice heavy microphone that was donated to him by an annonomus party.
