Rediscovering The Toasters

[plastik-bass[?]]

I just started listening to this band again and i realized how much i like them

anyone else ever heard of this band. If so opinions?

There bass is pretty cool nice and deep sounding... while im on the subject anyone know what kind of bass he played?

My old boss when I worked at Guitar Center was the bass player for the toasters for a while, and one of the coolest dudes I've worked for. I know that he played a Musicman SR5 with them. Rig wise he mentioned a 400+ through a SVT610 on a european tour, and he now plays a SVT4 PRO through an Eden 210 and 410, but I don't think that was his standard rig with them.

man i would like to meet that guy he had some cool lines

[a.green.martian]

I don't know how many of the lines he actually wrote, and what he just played, the band has had a lot of different members over the years.

[plastik-bass[?]]

yeah...true..but a great band none the less

The best player in the toasters bass history was Matt Malles. He's a monster player. Nice guy too.

They've gone through a number of singers beyond Rob "bucket" over the years but Coolie will always be a favorite.

The 400+ was part of a rented european tour rig. When playing in the states, for all the time I saw and shared stage space with them, they had an Ampeg SVT and 8x10 rig, owned by Bucket.
