Michael Astley-Brown, Guitar World, "'What bass would Neo play? An upright bass. He’s going to want to play some jazz. With Morpheus on drums. We’ll be a power trio with Agent Smith on keys': We interviewed Keanu Reeves about bass guitar – and it was a musical conversation unlike any other", January 17, 2024

He also steers clear of pedals these days, and his only concessions to modern technology are a Shure AD4D wireless system and a monster new Gallien-Krueger rig.

“I had an 800 RB when we were playing in the ’90s and into the early ’00s,” he says. “Epic, legendary amplifier. And then as this [Dogstar] incarnation came back, I wanted to revisit Gallien-Krueger and see what they had cooking, and I was introduced to Forest Gallien, the son of Bob Gallien, who was the head of GK – the mad, beautiful scientist of bass sound.

“I ended up with the 1200 Fusion X. And then playing through the RVH [cab], which is 810s. And that amplifier is beautiful. Any style you want to play – you know, I play rock, but there’s the tone controls and it’s got a tube preamp, so there’s a warmth to it. And the cabinets are a great obvious fit with the amplifier and they’re working out very well. And so that was cool, to kind of modernize.”
