Mitch Gruevski
The Low End Foundation
Mitch Gruevski provides the thunderous low end that drives Damage Inc.'s sound. Taking inspiration from the late Cliff Burton and current bassist Robert Trujillo, Mitch blends melodic bass runs with aggressive picking to create the perfect foundation for the band's assault.
A Warwick devotee, Mitch relies on the growl and punch of his Warwick 5-string to deliver those iconic bass lines — from the galloping opener of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to the distorted growl of "Damage Inc." itself.

Warwick Thumb 5-String
Mitch's main axe. The Warwick Thumb 5-string is famous for its distinct growl and punchy low end. The ovangkol neck and bubinga body deliver incredible sustain and clarity across all five strings.
Warwick Corvette $$
When he needs extra punch, Mitch switches to the Corvette $$. The dual humbuckers deliver a thicker, more aggressive tone that cuts through the mix for those moments when the bass needs to lead.
Ampeg SVT-VR
Mitch runs his Warwick through an Ampeg SVT-VR head pushing an 8x10 cabinet. This classic rig provides the massive low-end power needed to reproduce the wall of sound that Metallica's rhythm section commands.
"A Warwick speaks for itself. The moment you plug it in, you understand why so many metal bassists swear by them. That growl is unmistakable — it's pure aggression in your hands."
