Comments
This sentence has to go... The Melvins are/were essentially two guys with a plethora of different bassists before bringing Big Business along for the ride and making a 4-piece.
Dale Crover has never been apart from the Melvins.
Well actually the Melvins were formed in 83 and Crover joined in 84. Mike Dillard was their first drummer.
That far back it was probably a Pro-Co Rat, not the ODB-3. He's said in interviews that he switched to those around the turn of the century.
boss odb-3 into mxr bluebox i think.
Have you also noticed that all of those shows were in europe. Buzz has been using Marshall due to not wanting to pay to have his heavy regular rig shipped around during the euro tour, much easier to rent a couple amps and drum kits for a few months.
