Equipment
Main Klaus Flouride bass gear includes a Lake Placid Blue matching-headstock Fender Jazz Bass from 1966 that he has been using throughout the Dead Kennedys early years and still owns and uses today on stage. The bass is covered with stickers, the biggest being the "DK" signs that stands for Dead Kennedys, and the pickguard is stained with blood. Other basses such as a black Fender Precision Bass and a blue Fender Bass VI have also been used.
Flouride used "an Acoustic 150b amp, and an Acoustic 402 cabinet with stock speakers at last thru 'In God We Trust'", before getting a Traynor Mono Block B amp to replace the Acoustic head. Recent pictures show a Gallien Krueger stack made of a 2x10 and a 1x15 cabinets, powered by a Gallien Krueger 1001 RB II head. An unknown Boss pedal can be seen in the same pictures. According to a recent post on Flouride's website, he uses a Boss Blues Driver and a Boss TU-2 tuner pedal.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
