The Resistance

Basses

The Gibson Ripper hasn't been seen live, but Chris' bass tech, Shane Goodwin, has mentioned it in a short interview for Dunlop TV. However, it is possible he mistook this bass for the Gibson Grabber, as it is seen in the interview. As from the Status Graphite basses, he first used the Status Original Series II headless in the studio recording "The Resistance". During the Resistance tour he received all his following status basses.

Amps

  • 4x Marshall DBS 7400
  • Line 6 Bass Pod XT Pro (ampsimulation)
  • 2x Tech 21 Sansamp PSA1 (ampsimulation)
  • Ampeg SVT-VR [2][3]
  • Ampeg SVT-410HE
  • Ampeg SVT-15E

Cabinets

Previously stated as,

  • 1x Mills Acoustics 115B
  • 2x Mills Acoustics 410B

Both of these cabs are debatable, as in the DunlopTV interview Shane Goodwin says Chris uses two 215 cabs and one 115 cab.


The cabs actually used will more likely be,

  • 2x Marshall DBS 7215
  • 1x Marshall DBS 7115


There is the possibility of the use of some custom Mills cabs, however, there is no mention of Chris on the Mills website.
