Peter Steele

In this photo of Steele's pedalboard you can see a Boss DS-1. You can see a picture of Peter with his board here, and the DS-1 is recognizable to his right side with its bright orange color.

The settings appear to be set to Tone 3, Level 10, Distort 10. The knobs apper to be glued into place using hot glue.

Here you can see Steele's pedalboard with the Boss CH-1. You can see a picture of Peter with his board here, where the pedal layout matches the closeup view by color. The CH-1 blue is seen closer to Peter.

The controls appear to be set to Effect Level 10, EQ 10, Rate 6, Depth 10.

In this photo we can see Steele performing live with a custom painted Washburn M10 Bass Guitar.

These models were only made from 2001-2003 in a very limited number. Steele's model has a single MusicMan MM Style pickup in the bridge position.

In this video Steele can be seen preforming live using a ESH Stinger Bass.

This bass has Steele's signature style of Black Finish with Green Accessories (e.g. Knobs. Green glow-in-the-dark whole-fret inlays Pickups etc.). This was a trend that all of Steele's future basses (aswell as some of his previous basses) would follow. Steele also installed Piezo Double Bass pickups right next to the bridge on this bass.

In 2009 ESH honored Steele with a Tribute Bass based on this model.

Another version has also been seen on Carnivore reunions shows and some Type O Negative shows, this version is exactly the same exept for the fact that it had Red accessories.

This photo from theatlantic.com Steele can be seen preforming live with a custom painted Fernandes 4 String Bass.

In this video at 2:36, it is stated that Steele had a very interesting picking style and that to achieve it, he used Dunlop Tortex .50mm guitar picks.

Later at 4:48 we can see a stillshot of Steele with four Red picks on his stand to support this idea.

In this Acoustic preformance, Steele can be seen playing an upright bass throughout the video.

This Upright also appeared in the music video for "Black No. 1", however neither time is he playing it upright, as he's seen playing it horizontaly sometimes useing a chain as a strap.

In this photo Steele can be seen with a Light Green Upright Bass, its is unclear if this is different Upright Bass or if Steele kept the Bass used in the video and modified it at another date later on.

In this photo Steele can be seen with a pack of Rotosounds taped to his Alembic Spoiler bass.

Peter Steele used a Peavey Tour 700 bass amplifier head, as mentioned in a discussion on the Guitar.com forum.

In this video Steele is seen holding a 4003 Rickenbacker bass in a Mapleglo (Natural) finish.

This bass is missing the neck pickup and Steele appears to have replaced the bridge pickup.

In this advertisement, Steele can be seen using a modified Gibson Thunderbird III.

This bass appears to have been customized with Steele's signature style of Black finish and Green accessories.

It was further modified later on, as Steele had cut entire chunks out of the body and sheered the bottom horn clean off.

Another shot of the instrument can be seen here.

In this photo, we can see Steele playing an Alembic Spoiler Bass and was used for many of carnivores albums recording ,live shows and a in some type o live shows decked out in all black with green tape over the pickups classic Pete haha,

Pete has most likely had multiple ALEMBICS throughout the years,a birch top ,a burl top ,a bubinga top which you see on the live videos up ,all black(which was most likely one of his other ALEMBICS repainted), some of these are photos you can find out there in a weird sketchy photo album I had to sign up for

Other photos of this Bass can be seen here, here and here.

Here you can see Steele's pedalboard with the Boss DD-3. You can see a picture of Peter with his board here, where the pedal layout matches the closeup view by color.

The controls appear to be set to Effect Level 4.5, Feedback 6, Delay Time 5, Mode L.800ms.

In this video at 19:27, it is suggested that Steele used DR Black Beauty Bass strings on his instrument. There is a segment of footage shown from around 2007, where Steele can be seen preforming live with black-nylon strings on his Bass.

There is no way to tell if these strings were manufactured by DR, we can assume these were DR due to being one of the most notable brands to make black-nylon Bass strings at the time, however brands such as Rotosound (which Steele has been seen using) and La Bella have made black-nylon strings for Bass as well.

The Peavey 3620 was a favorite of Peter's, and can be seen in this video behind him. Rest in Peace, Pete.

The only other known photo of the Bass can be seen here

A possible earlier photo of this Bass can be seen here, where Steele's seen with Carnivore playing a reverse headstock B.C. Rich Warlock Frettless in a natural finish, leading to reason that he painted it light green at a later date.

In this video at 2:44 a young Steele can be seen playing a Kramer DMZ 4001 in a Natural Finish And in later fallout pics would sport his custom black Kramer bass with holes cut into it
