Excerpt from Instagram post caption:
"This bass belonged to my old man, he bought it brand new. A 1980 Fender Special Precision, candy apple red. My Dad is a recovered alcoholic, and so are both Joe and I. When he hopped on the wagon in 1987 (the year Joe was born), he took a bronze “V”, turned it upside down and stuck it to a black leather guitar strap. The “V” is for “vices” and his idea was that if you turned the letter upside down, it was like emptying a bucket, all of your vices would fall out. Somewhere in the early 90’s I started taking a shine to the bass. I wanted to be able to make noise with my brother and my old man and the bass guitar seemed like the most accessible instrument in the house. I loved the way it held such a supportive role, being the glue between rhythm and harmony. It was a humble instrument. It didn’t need to draw any attention to itself. My favourite bass playing has always been the kind that lifts up a song while going unnoticed.
He gave me that red bass and that strap when I was 10 or 11 years old. The strap faded and eventually broke. I set it aside in a pile of busted gear. In 2010, after a number of years of escalating and unchecked alcohol and drug abuse, I got sober. I took the bronze “V” off the old guitar strap and glued it to the bass as a reminder to myself."
At 1:20:08 in this YouTube video on That Pedal Show, David's tour pedalboard is shown to have a Line 6 HX Stomp and a Noble DI, and a brief discussion is had about the board.
Joey and David describe using the HX Stomp with a power amp on the Ampeg B-15 model, and say that it sounds like a B-15 to them.
