I'd love to know any info or see photos of the following pro's pedalboard or FX....

Tony Russell (bassist for Jay-Z)

Melvin Gibbs (when he was in Rollins Band circa 1997)

Sergio Vega (bassist for the now defunct but awesome Quicksand and currently filling in for the Deftones)

Jordan Eberhardt (bassist for Scale The Summit)

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Melvins Gibbs during the Rollins stint was a Big Muff, Musictronics Mutron III, Ibanez Wah, Boss LS-2 Line Selector, and Demeter Stereo Tube DI according to an old interview in Bass Player.

Melvin Gibbs is definitely one of the most underrated players out there.

On the new Deftones, Vega just used his SVT CL and cabs with almost no direct lining or overdubs. His tone is just the ampeg with Deftones. There's a Vega thread floating around the forum. Search it up b!

searched'ed: Anybody know what gear the bassist from Quicksand used?

a few years ago i saw melvin using a mf-101 lpf next to some other boxes (i can't remember them, sorry). he set the moog as an envelope filter most time of the set.

For the new rig...plus, instead of Muffs, he uses a Boogie V-Twin pedal as his distortion tone now.

I'm pretty sure Sergio's playing an SVT-VR, not the CL right now through a couple of SVT810AV's.
