Nick Oliveri

Fender Mexican Precision Bass White model used during Kyuss Lives!/Vista Chino and mostly all Mondo Generator/The Dwarves shows. It is now pretty beat up and the pickguard has been changed to a grey one. It has no volume and tone pots and the seymour duncan quarter pound pickups (spb3) are wired directly to the input jack.

Used when he played in Kyuss.

Picture taken at the mondo generator show in Cagliari on 20/09/2016, this was nick's pedalboard, featuring a boss hyperfuzz 2 constantly on duty, and a Dr.No Black Magic Bass Distortion only to boost some solos and general feedback. On the right, a classic boss chromatic tuner with an unmistakable DWARVES sticker on it

Used for bass on Songs for the Deaf, as stated by producer Eric Valentine in this September 14, 2019 "Making Records with Eric Valentine" video at 29:02.

And then, there's this track. And so this amp is a Peavey Decade and it's an amp about this big. It's a tiny little Peavey solid state practice amp. (...) And it has a really cool little saturation knob in there, or distortion knob, and so it would get cool distortion and you could have it at really low volume and I ended up putting a Coles 4038 right up on it and a Cole 4038 normally would not be able to handle low end at all. Like, if you put it in front of a bass amp with any reasonable amount of volume, it would just totally probably rip the ribbon in half. But this thing, you would set it super super quiet, just whisper quiet with this Coles 4038 up on it and it got the most incredible low end. [plays audio track] And it ended up being the majority of the bass sound for the record. It's an amazing sound. [laughs] Tiny little amp, this big. But ultimately, it's a blend of all these.

He had a Red Fender Deluxe Active P Bass Special with Rosewood Fingerboard and single-ply beveled gold vinyl pickguard. It was used with Queens Of The Stone Age tours during and after Rated-R

Mondo Generator at this point was a side-project. Derek Myers and Nick Oliveri played in the River City Rapists together, shortly after Mondo Generator was formed, they recorded "Cocaine Rodeo" which was a full legnth, that also featured Josh Homme (While he had Queens of the stone age in the works) So "Cocaine Rodeo" gets put on the shelf for 3 years while Oliveri works with Queens of the stone age and the Dwarves
