Eric Bass

When Eric joined Shinedown, he was using some Ernie Ball Sterling basses when playing live

For most of his career with Shinedown, he uses his signature model bass while playing live and he used it to record Amaryllis.

With many of signature model basses, he uses a classic white Hillsboro bass for lower tunings. The particular bass is equipped with an EMG pickup

The secret to Bass’ tonal setup is his usage of the solid-state Dime guitar head that he uses as a stompbox (with the switcher on his pedalboard) for overdrive and distortion tones because he grew tired of bass overdrive and dirt pedals adding gain but killing his low-end thump.

In a photo of Eric's rig, there are two Ampeg SVT-4 pros in the rack.

"As a musician in a band that is on the road 300 days a year, I can depend on my Traveler EG-1 to aid my creativity. But as a producer, engineer, and songwriter who is on the road that much, I have to be able to rely on it to give me the tones I want on my recordings. It never lets me down. I have recorded many internationally released hits using my EG-1. I love it!!!"
