Brett Simons

In this video Simons tests out the Steelcaster bass.

"I used my DB 750 and GS 212 and also an AG 500SC, which I loved! It worked remarkably well in the studio – it has a really clear sound – slightly different than the DB 750 but just as useful. We combined that with the direct signal."

"The cornerstone is the Atomic Ampli-Fire Box, in which I’m using a KT-88 power amp model that feeds Ampeg and Marshall cabinet IR’s from RedWirez and OwnHammer."

"Brett completed a record with Brian Wilson entitled ‘Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin’. His 500/2 Club Bass and Höfner Double Bass where used throughout the recording process."

"It was a great experience to be able to pop the AG 4P-60's into my '75 P-Bass midway through a sound check. I immediately noticed an evenness and punch, along with a solid output level. In a word, a 'comfort' that had been missing to that point. I wasn't struggling to get the sound that I wanted out of the instrument any longer. Nice work!"

Simons is seen jamming along with Melissa Etheridge on the P-Bass in this video.

"On the front end, I’m using an EBS Multi-Comp that feeds an ELAN Amplification Mk-V Bass preamp - a fantastic pedal board based tube pre-amp stage that is just incredible."

"I have an EBS Multi-Drive as a standby drive when needed (this is post preamp, as in an effects loop, and is set up to be swapped out with other pedals on the roster - which include a Darkglass Vintage Deluxe, an EBS ‘The Drive’, a JHS Morning Glory and a Way Huge Pork & Pickle)."

"I use Radial J48 DI’s for the clean and amp channels for my monitor and FOH dudes and it’s wired up with the phenomenal Premium Gold Flat Patch Cables from EBS on a Temple Boards SOLO 18."
