  • A rare glimpse of the same bass rig, pedals and bass I used with The Firm and Blue Murder. I wish I'd gone into more detail, but it's nice to get a close up of the equipment from that era. The crazy characters on the amp reflected my stage persona at that time! And do you recognize the tune I played?

    Getting the close up and what makes the magic and tone possible is always a great insight to behold. An idea of how you manage and hold you own in the band within the grand scheme of things gives much inspiration. Cheers.

    Ha, toured Canada in 89 with a Peavey Max head. Had to leave my Trace gear back in the UK but it was great.
    Great playing & vid Tony. Thanks for sharing these.

    Back in the early 90s, I was using a Peavey cab with an 18" and 2X10's, and that thing must have weighed 100lbs. Absolutely HATED loading in and out with that thing. Thanks for sharing this blast from the past! I really enjoy geeking out on getting to know what you guys were using.

      @@FretlessMonster Awesome!! I can't recall what ever happened to that thing. I used to pair it sometimes with a Trace Elliott 4X10 on top. I really don't know why. It wasn't necessary in those small bars. We just used to get into "mine's bigger" battles. My rack was just as ludicrous.

    About that point in time I think I was also playing a Peavey Mk3 head. When it blew up I bought an Ampeg B25. I don't miss the Peavey but I wish I still had that B25!

    Peavy?) And one more that looks like a Marshall . What is it ? Please tell identify it . Thank you.

    Those are interesting looking pickups. Are those still on it? (I'm thinking there is something different now.)

      That’s right!
      Those wooden encased pick ups are still on it. Though I recently sent them and all the electronics back to JayDee to be refurbished. I await patiently!
      They are quite unique. If you look on the JayDee website, they’re still the same on tbt newer basses.
