Pat has been a Trace Elliot user since Live's very first tour. Up until the Secret Samadhi tour he used SMX350 Tube Heads and AH600SX Heads (seperate power amps), which he then changed to 220-watt V-Type. He has also used Shure KSM 32 Bass Cabinets. According to an article in Bass Player (Dec. 1999) Pat "plugs into two Demeter VTDB-201-L tube preamps and four 300-watt Demeter VTHF-300M tube power amps driving two Trace Elliot 1158 1x15 cabinets and two Trace Elliot 1048H 4x10s."
Effects: "EBS Octabass, Electro-Harmonix Bassballs, and Boss CE-3 chorus; a Demeter VTDB-2 tube direct box hits the PA". DOD Chorus and Octave Pedal stomp boxes were used for the Throwing Copper tour.
Pat uses Dean Markley strings and one of his Lakland Joe Osborn basses is strung with Lakland Flatwounds.
Pat's EBS Octabass
This pedal allows Pat to create a single note an octave below the pitch of the note he is actually playing. (Click on picture to see a bigger version)
