Eric Bass of Shinedown has utilized the Hartke LH1000 Bass Amplifier throughout much of his career, often pairing it with a Kilo head to shape his bass tone, as detailed in Premier Guitar's Rig Rundown by Chris Kies.

Eric Bass, bassist for Shinedown, has predominantly used the Hartke Kilo Bass Amp paired with an LH1000 head to shape his bass tone throughout much of his career. This setup is detailed in Chris Kies' article for Premier Guitar, "Rig Rundown: Shinedown's Zach Myers & Eric Bass."

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.
