Ben Crain was born and raised in Alabama, where the roots of Southern rock run deep. As the bassist for Them Dirty Roses, he delivers the heavy groove and steady foundation that drives the band’s unmistakable sound.
His playing is equal parts power and precision—holding down the low end while leaving space for soaring guitars and raw vocals. From swampy, slow-burning jams to full-throttle rock anthems, Ben’s bass lines are the backbone of the band’s rhythm section.
Ben’s weapon of choice is his signature Patterson Regulator Bass—a one-of-one instrument built to match his style and presence on stage. Featuring a dirty butter cream top (Nanner Puddin), ask Ben about it, with a bold black binding on the body and figured maple neck. matte black pickguard and cavity cover, lightweight black limba body, and a highly sculpted neck heel for comfort, the bass is as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. The custom inlays—red roses with gold vines set into a pale moon ebony fretboard—pay homage to Them Dirty Roses, making this instrument deeply personal and unmistakable.
Loaded with our hand-wound Raijin pickups, standard Raijin-J in the bridge and a massive Raijin-Oni in the neck position paired with a custom electronics layout the includes a master neck volume, master bridge volume, blender control for mixing the two Raijin-Oni neck coils in parallel mode, master tone push/pull for activating the Raijin-Oni series mode, and releasing the beast! the Regulator delivers massive low-end punch with clarity in every note. Paired with gold hardware, gold fretwire, black and gold control knobs, and a headstock proudly featuring a crane motif, this bass stands as both a workhorse and a signature showpiece—a true reflection of Ben himself.
Includes a rugged, road-ready Patterson Hardshell Case for maximum protection wherever your music takes you.
