Bad Brains’ Darryl Jenifer

Longtime bassist for the highly-influential, genre-blurring D.C. four piece has used that green machine from Modulus since 1982. As he told PG in a 2012 interview: “When I first bought it, it wasn’t because of anything I heard about them. It was because I knew that it was a material that wouldn’t have to be babied. Every time I picked it up, it would feel the same and I could throw it around and it would fall on the floor and it would be okay. The bass has a sound that just stays no matter what.”
