Beginning in the Spring of 2011, he went out on tour with Heathen, a band who he had last been with in 1992.[3]
Over the past few years, Viebrooks has been playing with the Cincinnati band Lorenzo.[4] Prior to Lorenzo, he was the original bassist for Grip Inc., with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and Voodoocult guitarist Waldemar Sorychta.
In 2010, Jason designed a bass guitar with Esh Bass as a tribute to the late goth metal legend Peter Steele of the band Type O Negative. There were 13 instruments[5] produced in this limited edition, and each were authenticated and signed by Viebrooks and the CEO of Esh.
This bass is my Tribute to Peter Steele. I have been working with Ralf Scholl, owner of Esh basses with A&R when he asked me to re-sign Peter to Esh. In the mid 1990’s, Peter and I were the only US sponsored Esh artists. I contacted Peter and told him that Ralf wanted to do a “Signature” model for him and we had been working together for several weeks to get the details perfect. Peter was very excited and proud that Esh wanted to bestow this honour on him. Unfortunately, the world suddenly lost Peter. I had just finalized the last of the details with Peter two days before we heard the news. So now Ralf of Esh basses and myself present the “Jason VieBrooks’ tribute to Peter Steele” bass.[6]
