In an Instagram post showing off his collection, the Guild Bass can be seen 2nd to the left on the rack. In the comments section, Chaney recalls how he got possession of it

I got them from a guild artist relations guy in Europe about 15 years ago. He was a guitar player so these basses sat in a closet and were in impeccable condition. They both play and sound great. The old Brazilian rosewood necks have so much swirl.

"My current touring rig is two DB 751’s and two DB 810’s. I use a slew of Aguilar gear in various situations and I’ve never had anyone ask, “Hey, do you have a different amp”! (Laughs) It just knocks it out the park every time! You know, I started endorsing Aguilar before you guys made cabinets! Once Dave (Boonshoft) told me they were making cabinets, I said “goodbye” to what I had been using!"

Here’s what Chris say after trying out the EBS ValveDrive DI:

“The EBS Valve Drive has been an integral addition to my sound. It’s got a perfect blend of tube fuzz/overdrive and bite when engaged without sacrificing any bottom end.It’s a bass players dream!!”

How about for studio sessions?

"Usually if I’m not using a big setup like an 810, which I rarely do in the studio, I just use the GS 112! And actually, dare I say, the head that I really love is the DB 359! It’s an older head but they are awesome! I also use the Tone Hammer 500 and the AG 500. For a lot of the sessions I do – like film dates – I just bring the AG 500! I did that movie Identity Theft, and I used the distortion channel on the AG 500 anytime they needed that sound and it was great, I didn’t have to add any pedals to my signal chain! I just dialed that tone in and it sounded amazing. I blended that with the clean DI signal and that was it!"
