I thought all he would use is a bunch of compressors.

Voodoo Lab, not Labs!

That bugs the hell out of me.

Super weird that he keeps a Ridge Farms Gas Cooker in his power amp rack. It's practically the only boutique piece in his rig.

yeah... thats so weird.. i thought a comp would be part of a his tone for sure.

What I find interesting is him using a BDDI and XXL. I thought he endorsed (or was endorsed by) MXR and used the M-80, or whatever the bass DI is called.

EDIT: based on my use of a PDDI in the past I must say that between the BDDI and the SVT 2-Pro all tube amps he shouldn't need any compression. He'd get all the compression "effect" he needs from pushing the tubes in the amps, and going for at least a light overdrive on the BDDI.

He did when he was with Ozzy.. but the first issue of bassplayer where him and jason switched and he was on the cover his tech said he was testing out tech21 and boss gear... guess he didnt keep the boss stuff

haha... thats pretty funny. i seriously would have thought he had a comp though?? he moves around a lot on stage and i would think that keeping a steady attack with his fingers would be hard.

maybe its just his live rig? i wonder what he uses the q-tron for?

he is a lot into funk music, atleast the internet says that. maybe he is giving some taste of it all to james, lars and kirk occasionally

 

[Stingray_EB]

Strange considering he uses a wah for Orion, End Of The Line & For Whom The Bell Tolls. And theres no wah at all in his rig :S Strange stuff

You should hear him tear it up on some old Infectious Grooves records.

Someone really needs to shoot the label people making these decisions. I hear so many albums these days destroyed by this crap.:scowl::scowl:

+1,000 ugh, so good. Every one of their records is so frigging good...

 

[mat666]

why is he usisng guitar amp in his bass rig?

 

[bongomania]

For distortion. Lots of bassists (who carry large stage rigs or have roadies) use a guitar amp for their distortion channel.

It sounds good even in the POD X3 world -- and is much easier to carry.

According to wikipedia he uses a Morley Mark Tremonti Wah.
