Hemibass ‘Rig Rundown’ 2024 – The basses and amps that I use
Hi everyone. Here is my ‘Rig Rundown’ video where I go through the gear I use.
Been planning to do this one for a while, but haven’t felt settled on my rig until recently. If I had done a rig rundown when there were still bits of gear on my wishlist, it would have become out of date very quickly so I wanted to wait to make a video like this.
I did a couple of versions where I talked a bit more about my basses and also my synths, but the videos were coming out at close to 30 minutes and I thought that was a bit too long. If people are interested, maybe I’ll do a synth themed one in the future.
I’m very happy with my current rig and get a lot of flexibility out of it. Having different amps to do different jobs really allows for fine tuning which is something I enjoy doing
I will list the gear here that I go through in the video here:
Fender MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz bass
Steinberger L2
Fender MIJ JB-75 Jazz bass
Neural DSP Quad Cortex
Palmer PDI-05
Tech21 Sansamp PSA-1
Tech21 Sansamp GED-2112
Trace Elliot GP12X
Hope this video is interesting, and thanks for watching!

Really enjoyed that, you've got an awesome set up there.
I'm curious, generally how low or high do you have the string action on your basses?
Nice to see you mate, you inspire me to keep learning Deke
A great behind-the-scenes view of your equipment. Thank you for sharing with us.
A rig that is bigger on the inside for sure!
Excellent video been waiting for a long time! Looking forward to the synths rig
Fantastic, many thanks ! Maybe it's a stupid question but what do you use to split the signal in 4 ?
Super cool to hear about the gear. Thanks for sharing. Really looking forward to the Driven cover you mentioned as well. Great stuff!
Great rig rundown video! Found this really interesting and it's great to see a little bit on how the sausage is made behind the scenes. Your tones and playing are awesome. I could relate to what you said near the end about playing with sound/thinking of tones you like, etc. Many can be so technical about that aspect, but I like approaching it from intuition too (though my "rig" shames in comparison. lol). Thanks for posting this andlook forward to your Test for Echo, Driven, and Yes covers, too!
Would love an on-off comparison as to what the PDI-05 actually does. It's such a rare piece of gear it's hard to find demos.
Not sure if it would work for you. But the quad cortex can accept 4 separate inputs. Just have to use the 2 effects returns and configure those as inputs. You can then have each one of your 4 channels have their own row of effects.
As a long time Rush fan…MASSIVE respect to your dedication to your craft! I'm soon 65 and have been listening to Rush since I was a teenager. Never in a million years would I think I would be almost 65 watching videos like yours crushing geddy's tone and chops. Beautiful man! 🙂 Your band sounds killer too by the way! Thanks!
Do the whole live rig, including keys and taurus pedals.
