Dean Markley Blue Steel 50-100 Gauge Strings (For some reason, the wikipedia article lists he uses both of these strings. It is unclear which one he mainly uses.)
Dunlop Light Grey 0.60mm Picks

On another note, I have heard that as well as Marc, Travis and Dan also use and endorse Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, but I have yet to find confirmation for this. All my info came from their wikipedia articles.

I couldn't get the move feature to work, so I just made this thread in the section and deleted the old thread in requests. Sorry guys.

what happened when you tried to move the thread? I don't know if you see it, but at the bottom of your post I see a blue button thta says move. If I click on it, I can choose where to move the thread. I also uncheck the box to keep a ghost thread.

Let me know what you see and I'll look into it.

I did some more searching on Travis. I found these sources:

www.rivera.com/artists.php
peavey site
www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=2189971567
www.deanmarkley.com/EndArtists/Atreyu.shtml

The dean markely site confirms they all use their strings.

You'll find if you do a little extra research you'll find out all sorts of interesting stuff. Good tip on the strings. I'm off too work on getting this article up...

I just put Travis live on the site.

Here's another good source for Marc mcknight: www.bassplayer.com/article/atreyus-marc-mcknight/oct-07/31889

Added Marc to the live site.
