Bassist Dustin Davidson rocks nothing but custom Kiesel basses. The particular model he’s been touring with lately is the Vanquish 4 and his #1 features a burl maple top and a walnut back, single-coil pickups, and he plays with D'Addario .045-.105 on all his basses.
Rig Rundown: August Burns Red
The Grammy-nominated outfit shows us the Ibanez guitars, Kiesel basses, and Kemper and Ampeg amps that ignite their metalcore sound.

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
