Scott Weiland

Scott used this megaphone during live performances of STP hit "Crackerman".

According to this site, Weiland stated "One of the first pieces of gear I owned when we were playing little clubs all over LA and Orange County was an SM58."

"All the vocals on Core, our first album, were recorded with an SM7."

"Scott Weiland: But back to the original question, one of the first pieces of gear I owned when we were playing little clubs all over LA and Orange County was an SM58. My first PA was a Shure VocalMaster; I bought it at a garage sale. Now I own my own studio in Burbank, and I have a whole locker filled with Shure stuff-Beta 57s, 58s, you name it. One day I brought my collection to a video shoot I was doing with the lead singer of Orgy. He broke like three of my mics in a matter of ten minutes. These were some of my best mics, and I was upset. But he promised to pay me back. Well, months and months went by. Finally, I had to call and say 'Look, if you don't send me a check for those mics I'm going to... [OTWS needs to put a big fat bleep in here. Use your imagination. Needless to say, Scott got his money. -ed.]'

OTWS: Scott, you're now using a U24D/Beta 58A? wireless system...

Scott Weiland: That mic is amazing, I've been astounded by the reliability of it. It's just there, always, and it has given me freedom. Before I latched on to this mic, with the way I move all over the place on stage, I was wrapping my cord around everyone's legs, as well as myself. Now that the cord is gone, I'm not limited to any one space, and I can go totally berserk."

"Weiland, who uses the BAE Audio DMP with a vintage Neumann U47, says the combination "sounds flawless on my voice.""

"Scott Weiland and producer Rick Parker made extensive use of BAE Audio preamps on the singer’s latest album, Blaster.

'We've used BAE Audio all over the album,' says Weiland, who recorded the project at his Burbank-based Lavish Studios with The Wildabouts. 'We used the 312A preamplifier on the drums, guitars and bass. It's just a great overall mic pre.'"

'Throughout my career, from the beginning of Core [STP's first album] all the way through this new album Blaster, I have always used vintage Neve or BAE Audio. I like the way the DMP Desktop Mic Pre sounds on my voice, whether I am singing in a gruff voice, a high head voice, or in a falsetto, it just seems to capture the tonality of my voice in a perfect way,' Weiland explains."
