Justin Harris

(24:38 minute mark) - When Harris was recording with Bloc Party, Kele Okereke used to come a lot in the studio with this bass and the gig bag. The gig bag was too short for the bass, which resulted in a bent tuning peg. This bass is from mid 70's.

(21:13 minute mark) - Harris has the 1976 Fender Precision Bass. 15 years ago, this bass was stolen from him, but his friend subsequently found this bass in Craigslist. It was stolen in Portland and found in Portland as well.This bass has the tortoise pickguard on it, unlike the black pickguard which was usual for 1976 P-basses. Everything on this bass, except the pickguard, is original.

Although Harris relies on a direct signal and uses in-ear monitors, he has an Ashdown ABM 1000 Bass amp with a matching cab onstage.

Justin Harris is a man of many fuzzes. Among the favorites on his board are a Darkglass Super Symmetry, Team Awesome Fuzz Machine, and Malekko B:ASSMASTER. All of his pedals are routed through a Voodoo Lab PX8 and a Voodoo Lab Pedal Commander.

(28:27 minute mark) - This Lehle is used for switching between basses, each of the switches has a mute switch. This is the first pedal in the signal chain.

(28:34 minute mark) - Although Harris doesn't talk about it, Korg DT-10 tuner is clearly visible in his pedalboard.

(28:43 minute mark) - Harris also mentioned that he has the Lehle P-Split underneath his pedalboard to "give him the cleaner signal".

(29:17 minute mark) - Harris mentions that he uses this pedal mainl for engaging of the effects.

(30:14 minute mark) - This pedal is used to normalize the signal, which would usually get cut down by Malekko B:Assmaster and Malekko Diabolik in his pedalboard.

(30:58 minute mark) - Harris is proud to have two of Malekko pedals in his board, because Malekko is made in Portland, Harris' hometown. He describes this pedal as "a great bass overdrive".

(31:51 minute mark) - Harris uses this pedal for songs which have mild overdrive in it, not fuzz or distortion pedal. It has the nice overdrive to it.

(32:21 minute mark) - Harris has no idea how he got to this particular pedal. This pedal was built on basis of Jaco Pastorius' bass fuzz sound.

(33:17 minute mark) - This pedal, according to Harris, "messes up every single signal you get through". He uses another compressor pedal for this pedal.

(33:44 minute mark) - He uses this pedal for the songs he wants "less bass, more treble-y sound". He also has drive and boost programmed on the presets.

(34:00 minute mark) - This is Harris' most important pedal. He uses this pedal for attenuation, because his Malekko Diabolik and B:Assmaster can get incredibly boosty at times.
