What band? Dude has worked with a lot of groups now. I've been a big fan of his for years, but don't hear much else besides a pick and newish strings most of the time. Dude is incredibly underrated, though mostly as a songwriter as opposed to a bassist.
Anyhow, hooray for Wikipedia!

That's rad he's back with Manson.
I may have to pick up the next album they collaborate on. It went downhill after he jet(ted?)...
But yeah, T-bird, pick, 'Peg, you're golden.

Would that be the MXR Blowtorch? I have been thinking about getting one.
Yeah, Manson did suck without him! But Tim (the pile of ****) Skold is out, Jeordie is in, and all will be raped on the new album! (hahaha)
He didn't leave NIN, Trent kicked him out! What is worse is that Jeordie only found out by reading some interview in a magazine!
Anyway, I may get that MXR Blowtorch. I don't (yet) have the cash for a T-Bird, but im hoping to get a Goth one when I get married next year. She gets her ring, I get my T-Bird!

Jeordie is the reason I started playing bass. If it wasn't for him...I'd be a drummer.
He was a total dick when I met him though...broke my heart.

Yeah, I've purposely gone out of my way to not meet personal heroes of mine because of that possibility. Sucks.
There's a good Pearl Jam song about Jeff Ament meeting one of his basketball idols, and the dude completely blew him off, so he wondered how many times he had done that to fans of his own.
Blah blah blah...
Not that Corey Taylor is one of my 'heroes', but he was super cool when I met him in Copenhagen. Seemed like a really cool guy.
They've very different beasts, the MXR is a vintage, guitar overdrive, whereas the Ibanez is a modern bass distortion.
Basically the MXR is what a I call 'clean' distortion, it's in the tube screamer family where when you click it on, you don't loose the tone of your instrument, you just get more gain.
Whereas the PD-7 has a more pronounced, "hello I've just turned on the pedal" sort of sound, all though this is lessened at low gain settings on the overdrive mode.
I don't think you'll get the same sound from the Ibanez, one of (this is just a guess) fundamentals of the tone is probably the MXR overdrive pushing his Ampeg rig into dirty territory as well.
The Sansamp should be able to cop a decent SVT tone... Just crank the drive a bit. Also, favor the P pickup on your bass, that should make it sound a little more like a T-Bird, I would imagine.
