Mike Kroeger When you're on top of the rock pile, it's okay to indulge a bit, especially on gear; Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger will be the first to admit that his new Peavey rig is "pretty excessive." But shouldn't the bassist for one of rock's most successful bands take an original approach to creating his sound? Even if it means installing a full guitar amp into his rig? Sure, some rock bass players may use a distorted tone here or a fuzzy tone there, usually with a simple stomp box and just as often with no personality. But for Kroeger, who uses distortion on most of Nickelback's catalog, finding the perfect clean and distorted bass tones has been a long quest, one that eventually led him to two Peavey amplifiers: the Pro Series bass amp and Triple XXX guitar amp. As he recently attested, "We tried everything, and Peavey simply sounds best." Website: www.nickelback.com
