 This page is dedicated to the equipment [[Weezer]] bassist [[Scott Shriner]] uses for both recording in the studio and performing live.
-In an [http://www.bassplayer.com/article/adjusts-to-perfect/Aug-05/12456 interview with BassPlayer.com], Scott Shriner described some of his setup on the [[Maladroit]] Tour: "At that time we were playing through Line 6 PODs—I used a Bass POD Pro. I actually had a couple of hidden (Ampeg SVT) 8x10s on the stage. They were lying on the ground pointing sideways, just so I could feel the stage move. The main difference using the POD was that my backing vocals were easier to hear, which made me sing better—singing is a huge part of the Weezer gig. We’re back to amps now. The band is always trying different things."
+In [[2001]] before the [[Midget Tour]], Shriner got on board for touring, following the Inland Empire show. He Joined in early August 2001, after a period of tryouts, and already had an established rig and bass selection, developed after several years in numerous local and touring bands. Shriner is a vintage Fender Precision Bass man, through and through. He has 2 old beauties, plus several new ones for back-ups. He loves the Ampeg SVT amp and 8x10 cabinet, both the vintage and the modern "classic" model. He has a vintage Ampeg head that he uses for recording, and adapted his setup to fit the Weezer way of running both an amp and a POD. He set his rig up on the side of the stage, "just so he could feel the stage move."
-Now, Shriner's equipment of choice includes his 1960 and 1962 Fender Precision Bass guitars, although he can also be seen playing Lakland and Warwick bass guitars. His rig setup consists of an SVT VR and two Ampeg SVT 8x10 cabinets. For distortion, Scott uses an Electro-Harmonix bass big muff pi. Scott also uses Shure in-ear monitors.
+His set-up has, for the most part, remained similar to this, with some modifications made to cut down the overall size of the equipment load.
