Jeff Berlin

His Dean signature model

It has been said that Jeff Berlin is one of the most talented artists who ever picked up the electric bass. He certainly is one of the world’s most influential bass players. Jeff is a player who commands respect from all of the greats in jazz, rock, funk and blues and from players of all instruments. He is a legend of the electric bass. Simply put, he is considered by many to be the finest electric bass player in the world.

Well he pretty much explains it in the video that he uses the pedal to “lift up his sound” and make it “rich”

In the photo provided by Markbass, Jeff Berlin is shown using the Markbass Mini CMD 151P bass combo amplifier, highlighting his preference for Markbass gear.

"I was offered an endorsement with every amp company there is at some time or other. But as a bass player I only function at the level of tone, which was something that I personally couldn't find in any amp for many years. Everyone builds great equipment, but, without that one all-important addition (in my opinon) which is great tone. Markbass sent me a 15 inch bass cabinet that simply changed my musical life in a moment. I so fell in love with the sound of this amp that Marco De Virgiliis, the head of Markbass, named it the Jeff Berlin combo and sells it worldwide. It is a standard produced cabinet except that I asked that the tweeter be removed from this line as I really hate the tweeter sound."

He uses his cort signature bass as his main bass.

Following the 2014 debut of the Rithimic bass, Cort and Jeff Berlin have once again put their heads together for the Rithimic V.

They didn’t just slap an extra string on it, either. The specific intent here is a passive five-string with lighter strings and a slimmer neck to help make the switch from a four- to a five-string bass a little easier.

Jeff Berlin's main bass for many years in the 1970s and early 80s was a blonde Fender Precision heavily modified by Glen Quan. You can get a pretty good look at the instrument in this video here:
