Brian Gibson's Equipment



According to Gibson, his bass guitar is set to standard cello tuning, in intervals of fifths (C G D A) with a banjo string for the high A (contrasted with the typical bass guitar tuning of E A D G). He used this four-string setup for several years, but has recently been using a five-string setup, tuned to C G D A E, with banjo strings for the A and E.

Gibson also uses several effects pedals, including a bass whammy pedal (pitch shifter), an octaver, two overdrive pedals, and more recently a delay pedal. A complete list of equipment Gibson typically uses, in order, is:[2]

* 5-String Music Man StingRay
* DigiTech Bass Whammy pedal
* BOSS OC-2 Octave pedal
* BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal
* BOSS SD-1 Overdrive pedal
* Line 6 DL-4 Delay modeler
* Ampeg SVT4 Pro with 4x10 cabinet
* Crown Macro-Tech MA-3600VZ power amp
* More cabinets ranging from 18" to 4x10

As of 2007, Gibson has added a Boss PW-10 Wah-wah pedal to his touring gear.

In The Power of Salad DVD, Brian says his rig is rated to 3000 watts.
