Summer 2009's Tour for Dave Matthews Band is going strong with StompIO! Here is an excerpt from the interview on Ultimate-Guitar.com:

For bassist Stefan Lessard of the Dave Matthews Band, seeing his latest album Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King earn the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 (with over 400,000 copies being sold) is bittersweet to say the least.
   
UG: Are you someone who is a stickler for a specific tone and searches until you find the perfect equipment? Or would you say that you tend to focus more of your attention on the playing aspect?
   
Stefan Lessard:  "It's a combination. I have recently put all my knobs to zero and am letting the engineer get the tones of the bass. In the studio this last time, we did some testing of the knobs, and my producer Rob Cavallo decided that it was best to leave those knobs at a zero position. So I've been doing that. I used to love reggae bass. You can pump that low end. It gave me a leeway or a margin because when you have so much low end, you feel it. It's okay if you're a little bit on the side of the beat because it's just so heavy. Recently the tone stepped back. What I've noticed is that I really like that sound. I'm trying to go for just a real pure sound. I have been using the IK Multimedia StompIO, which is pretty awesome. I love it. We use it live."

"Sometimes a song might call for a funky bass with a wah [AmpliTube presets]. I have an old Ampeg amplifier with a Jimi Hendrix wah pedal. It sounds so funky and I love it. Then I go back to my regular amps for the straight-up tones. I like to be modern, but at the same, I like my bass to sound pretty pure. If you have a really great bass, you should be able to make that bass sound insane just using your hands and not manipulating it too much."
