And this sig is done up in Kochwork Orange, which is being exclusive to Wildwood Guitars. Both guitars are strung with D’Addario NYXL strings (.010–.046).
Koch uses Dunlop Primetone III 1.4 mm picks and D’Addario glass slides.
Koch uses no pedals, just a Lava cable running from his guitar straight into his signature Koch The Greg combo. This 50-watt, tube-driven powerhouse is fueled by EL34s and features a harmonic vibrato, juicy reverb, and two channels with an addition boost options. This Sonic Blue tolex combo feeds a pair of 10” speakers to unleash unmitigated savagery.
Greg Koch recently collaborated with Reverend Guitars to build the Greg Koch Signature Gristlemaster. This T-Style was inspired by Koch’s vintage Teles, but jam-packed with modern innovations like a slightly larger, chambered korina body, a roasted-maple, compound-radius neck, Wilkinson Classic 3-saddle bridge with staggered brass saddles, and a set of his signature Fishman Gristle-Tone pickups. He even got creative with the color names. Shown here is the model in Blucifer.
Telemaster Greg Koch met with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger before Koch’s sold-out show at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley where the groovy noodles and mind-blowing jams were paralleled only by Koch’s warped sense of humor.

Built for unrivaled articulation, low-end punch, and exceptional ergonomics, the all-new Tobias Original Collection comprises an array of six four and five-string bass models all offered in both right and left-handed orientations.

Crafted from the finest tonewoods, Tobias Original Collection bass guitars are now available worldwide on Gibson.com, at the Gibson Garage locations, and at authorized Gibson dealers.
The bass world has been clamoring for the return of the authentic, high-end Tobias basses, and now, Tobias has returned. Combining the look and tone of the finest exotic tonewoods, such as quilted maple, royal paulownia, purpleheart, sapele, walnut, ebony, and wenge, with the feel of the famous Tobias Asym asymmetrical neck and the eye-catching shapes of the perfectly balanced contoured bodies, Tobias basses are attractive in look and exceptional in playing feel. However, their sonic versatility is what makes them so well suited to the needs of modern bassists. The superior tone from the exotic hardwoods, premium hardware, and active Bartolini® pickups and preamps results in basses with the tonal flexibility that today’s players require. Don’t settle for less than a bass that delivers everything you want and need –the look, the feel, and the sound, Tobias.

Today’s players can find that unique voice and feel that only Tobias can offer.”
