Dean Bernardini (born December 27, 1973 in Illinois) is the bass guitar player and backing vocalist for the rock band Chevelle, as well as being a brother-in-law to founding members Pete Loeffler and Sam Loeffler. He joined the band in 2005 after the departure of Joe Loeffler, who had been a member of the group since 1995. The cover of the 2009 album Sci-Fi Crimes was an original 24x48 oil on canvas painting created by Dean.
In May 2006, Bernardini injured his left hand forcing the band to cancel 8 concerts (from June 30 to July 26) with Nickelback and Hoobastank.
Equipment
Bernardini uses Gibson Thunderbird and Ibanez BTB bass guitars with Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 amplifiers and Mesa 8x10 cabinets for both clean and distorted tones. Bernardini has also used Ampeg SVT's and matching cabinets with a Boss ODB-3 or Mesa Boogie V-Twin pedal for overdriven tones. In the studio he used a combination of Mesa Big Block 750 and Pete Loeffler's Ampeg V4. A video of the recording of Chevelle's album Sci-Fi Crimes shows Bernardini using an Ibanez BTB 1305E bass, though he has not played this during live shows. He also uses a SansAmp Bass Driver D1, a DigiTech Bass Driver, a Boss Digital Reverb RV-5, a Peterson VSS-C Stomp Classic tuner, a Boss Equalizer GE-7 for boost, and a Boss DD-7 Delay.
Rig Rundown - Chevelle's Pete Loeffler & Dean Bernardini
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/ChevelleRR
On April 22 in Nashville, Premier Guitar met with guitarist Pete Loeffler and bassist Dean Bernardini of the band Chevelle before their sold-out show at the Cannery Ballroom. Loeffler gave us the lowdown on tuning to C and answered a questions posted by our Facebook followers. Bernardini showed us some cool mods on his Ibanez basses and explained how to make a stage look appropriately creepy.
Loeffler does not travel with a ton of guitars, just a few favorites to get the job done. A Fender Subsonic Stratocaster with Seymour Duncan pickups does most of the heavy lifting. His #2 is a heavily modified Fender Strat featuring two Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Like many gearheads, Loeffler can’t remember the actual models or names of these Duncan...

Loeffler does not travel with a ton of guitars, just a few favorites to get the job done. A Fender Subsonic Stratocaster with Seymour Duncan pickups does most of the heavy lifting. His #2 is a heavily modified Fender Strat featuring two Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Like many gearheads, Loeffler can’t remember the actual models or names of these Duncan pickups, he just digs their sound.
Loeffler remains a life-long Boogie man, having played the same rig for his entire professional career. The Chevelle sound ends with a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV plugged into two Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabs. A second Mark IV functions as a backup.
