Sean Hurley's Gear
“I’ve been using my B-15 on almost every recording these days, except the most distorted rock tracks— although I recently drove the heck out of one on a session for producer John Shanks. What a glorious sound! It’s the perfect recording bass amp: It doesn’t need to be loud to get a killer tone, and is easily tucked away in a closet or isolation booth. With a flatwound-strung bass it’s old school, and with roundwounds it’s as modern as anyone needs. Pure bass tone that records with almost no effort, no unwanted frequencies to cut, nothing to be added—Jess Oliver got it right! The B-15 has stood the test of time.”
In this interview for GuitarWorld, Sean Hurley talks about his gear and at the very end, a detailed list of his instruments is provided. It is a well-known fact that Hurley used this bass while touring with the band Vertical Horizon and still uses it occasionally when he needs to play a 5-string bass.
