I didn’t have the money at the time to get that Spector, but there was a Modulus that was actually less expensive. I went to the guy at the music store and I said, “Man, I don’t think I can afford one of these American-made Spectors right now.” He said, “Try this Modulus out, it’s also good for the kind of metal you’re playing.” I tried out a Modulus Quantum 5 and asked if I could get it in black. I used that one from 1996 until just a few years ago. It never really recorded quite as well as I wanted. It sounds great live but we always had to do more EQing than I liked in the studio.

"And this bass here is the first bass I had in Cannibal, it was on 'Butchered At Birth' and 'Eaten Back To Life'" - Alex Webster at 2:09.

At 3:02 in this video, Alex Webster call his Radial Bassbone OD his "control center."

At 0.36 "into a Darkglass microtubes B7K".

"I got two 1500 watt SM-1500 heads which are super loud and also crystal clear, so it's powerful but crystal clear power, which is what I actually want" - Alex Webster at :03s.

Founding member and bass guitarist of 3 decade running Cannibal Corpse, Alex Webster, recently posted to his twitter account that he was using the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass pedal for his studio recordings.

For his recording sessions with Conquering Dystopia, his signal chain released through social media and is as follows.

"Signal Chain- Spector Euro5LX, Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor, Darkglass B7K, to Interface"

QUOTE "The Studio Bass helps make my bass sound punchy and consistent, even when I'm playing really fast passages at low tunings. It's also very transparent. It does the job without the compression being obvious. It's a great addition to my rig!"

Alex Webster has said he's used DR strings for years and can be confirmed in this article from Bass Player.

In this article it lists the gear that Alex Webster uses, which includes two of his signature Spector basses.

Vintage Deluxe pedal can be seen on his pedalboard in this instagram post. He states that he uses it as the DI to his in ears.

"Out here live I have an Aguilar rig and thats my amp. A DB751 head..." says Alex Webster, at 2:42 in this video.

Only 12 were made and of course, Alex has the first off the line.

He's been seen using these as his main during a few shows in 2015.

"My tone, I wouldn't say it's like one of those heavily distorted really fuzzy tones. It's almost like a really aggresive clean tone. It's not super distorted or anything. It give it an extra attack to it. The circuit in the B3K, B7K, and B7K Ultra is something I've been using for quite a few years."

"and so do the two cabinets that I got, I got two 8x10 Megoliath cabinets, and those are just amazing. They're great cabinets it's definitely the loudest rig I've ever played through" - Alex Webster at 1:18.

"I wanted to improve on the sound I already have established, and also make the pickups a bit easier to work with in terms of output level. I’ve had a problem over the years getting a completely clean signal out of my basses without having to turn the volume down on the bass itself. Optimizing the output level of the pickup seemed like a great way to resolve that issue – might as well start at the beginning of the signal chain, rather than try and fix things somewhere further down the line.

So I’m super excited with what the guys at Duncan came up with for me. Now I have pickups that work perfectly with my style, and I can crank the level on the bass all the way and the tone is still tight, punchy, and powerful. Also, somehow they managed to add more clean low end than I had before, a welcome bonus for sure. The pickups turned out amazing, I couldn’t be happier."

Alex can be seen using a darkglass strap in this rig rundown.
