Quoting ART:
From what I gathered that Gibson is to release a Shavo Odadjian Signature Bass sometime next year(2011??). His bass is based on a Neck Through Thunderbird which will be available in a platnium/silver variant Finish, with a few appointment such as a Larger Headstock With(Possible Shamrock Tuners), His goatee logo on the truss rod cover different Gibson Logo placement, Jazz Style neck, Stock T-Bird Pickups, Two Volume controls and a kill switch inplace of the tone control a mirror or silver pickguard. As far as Body wood I'm not too sure what material is his bass going to be made of but thats what I gathered so far.



in addition to his Signature Bass hes having a signature pedals made by Ashdown Amps

+1 #6 Shavo Odadjian equipment — Edoardo 2010-04-07 08:42
Guys, i know exactly what kind of equipments Shavo has for playing. You are the first on this web site to know it. I sent an e-mail to tech 21 to know something about his equipment and they replied: Shavo bought a PSA1 and BSDR (the same pedal in your picture) perhaps he purchased the GT2 (Tech 21) on his own. Now i m really really happy!

If you want a bass DI pedal for good tone, you wanna get the MXR M-80 DI+
it has distortion aswell, its used by In Flames, Marilyn Manson, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne and tons more metal bands.

Not 100% sure on the exact Sansamp bass pedal. The best info out there just says sansamp bass pedal. However there weren't that many sansamp bass pedals to choose from (there are some more models made recently though).
