Bootsy Collins

Listed among Collins' gear in the May 1991 Musician interview "Bootsy Collins Effects the Funk" by Gene Santoro.

MUFFS 'N' MUTES

BOOTSY'S RIG is far from simple. "On the pedalboard I've got all the old stuff: three Mutrons, one Big Muff, a Yamaha distortion, an old rackmount digital MXR, the small Boss DD-3. I've got a few new Digi-Techs for rackmount: the Time Machine 4000, the Smartshift Bass Harmonizer, a stereo Rat, an FX-500B. I'm using Roland Space Echo — of course. I've only got two Electro-Harmonix Bass-micro synths left, and I can't find no more. At least I've got a million Mutrons and Big Muffs!

"My amps are the QSC 4000: They run my two sets of subwoofers, which are four 18"s in each cabinet. On the mids I've got four cabinets, each with two 15"s, two 12"s and a horn; the highs are four 12"s and a horn. All my speakers are Celestions. The amps running the mids and highs are two Yamaha 2000As and one QSC 4000. I'm still going with three old Alembic preamps, which gives me that warm, clean sound; they're running my highs, mids and lows. I use that for the Bootsy Rubber Band; for Deee-Lite I lighten up. Oh yeah — always the Space Bass. But I'm starting to get into five- and six-string basses, and even fretless, since I've been working with Bill Laswell."

Mentioned in this 2007 Guitar Center interview and listed in this November 1, 2010 Bass Player interview.

Guitar Center

I have a certain setting for each amp and output from the bass. It's pretty simple but hard to explain... Hughes and Kettner amps is what I use for recording and also on the road. But on the road I need some additional power for which I add Alembic pre-amps and two Crown Macro Tech 5000 and two Macro Tech 3600's...that's the Bootzilla monster sound.

Discussed in this 2014 TASCAM article, in which Collins specifies its use on Tha Funk Capital of the World.

You've been a TASCAM user since the beginning.

Yeah, for me and I would think a lot of us musicians, the TASCAM Portastudio [Model 144 - 1979] was our first introduction to having 4 good analog tracks to record your ideas too. It even got to the point that sometimes when you recorded on this machine it actually wound up on the 2 inch recording of the real record, simply because the performance you did on the 4 track was more authentic and felt better than when you had a chance to practice it and get good. But then you loose the passion and drive that you had in that moment with the 4 track. I loved this machine. Then the 8 track came out sometime in either the late 80's or early 90's, I recorded the whole album of "The Zillatron" and "Bucketheadland" on my then new 688 MidiStudio [1989] with MIDI and sync code. It was truly awesome. Then the DA-88's came out [1993], I made sure I had 24 tracks because I felt like this is going to be my core of recording at my home studio. Being replayed by its big brother the 24-bit DA-78HR. It’s what I have now as back ups for my TASCAM X-48, which works flawlessly with Pro Tools, and any of my other gear. I also have the TASCAM DM-4800 digital board. When TASCAM made their first DAT machines, you'd better believe that I had one and then the next newest one. Now I got the DV-RA1000 DVD Recorder which is amazing. I carry my new DP-008, which is the digital 8 track portable recorder. I have the new DR-05 stereo mic recorder for recording rehearsals and things on the fly.

As you can see, TASCAM gear has been a key for me. Just so you know, all of my old TASCAM gear I still got and it all sits at the ready when and if I need them. That should tell you something about my gear and how it was built to last, they all still work. The people at TASCAM customer support was always there for me and I stayed up on keeping my equipment ready to rock-funk & roll because you never know when that creative bug jumps on you. When you hear the horn blow, you'd better be ready to go your nearest TASCAM dealer and say, Bootsy said y'all can help funk me up!

You've just released a new album called THA FUNK CAPTIAL OF THE WORLD which I understand TASCAM played a small part in.

Actually TASCAM played a major part in recording of the album. I recorded about 75% of this album myself on my DA-78HR's and my X-48 hard disk recorder. This process works really good for me and the live performers that come to my studio to record. Artists that appear on the album include Dr. Cornel West, Musiq Soulchild, Samuel L. Jackson, Victor Wooten, Bela Fleck, Dennis Chambers, Steve Jordan, Rev. Al Sharpton, George Clinton, Sheila E, Buckethead and Bobby Womack.
