Equipment
Webster currently uses Spector 'Alex Webster Signature Edition' (based on Euro 5XL basses), DR Strings, and EMG pickups. Before his signature model, he used Modulus Quantum and Spector Euro 5XL basses. He also used a white 1987 Fender Precision bass on the albums "Eaten Back to Life" and "Butchered At Birth", an Ibanez Sabre SB900 on the album "Tomb of the Mutilated", an Ibanez Soundgear SR1500 on "The Bleeding" and both a 1971 Precision Bass as well as a Spector NS Series 5-string bass on "Vile". In the past, he used an Ampeg SVT200T with an Ampeg 8x10 cabinet, then switched to the SVT-4PRO head. Recently, he signed an endorsement deal with SWR and currently uses 2 SWR SM-1500 and 2 SWR Megoliath 8x10 cabinets. Not much of an effects user, however on the album "Torture" he stated that he began using a Darkglass Microtubes B3K overdrive pedal and commented that it's the heaviest tone he has achieved yet. He also uses a Radial Bassbone and a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“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)
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
“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)
