Just noticed this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lpVjXwAfm0

Thinkin it was to match Alex's side and make the whole thing look even. I'm just guessing they are V4's with 4x12's, that is.

I think they're B25 2x15s, they don't look big enough to be V4 2x15s those things are suuuuper deep.

I do think those bottoms are B25. He did switch later to a V4B 2x15 flipped on the side, and then a custom built 2x15 on top of that. This later rig was run with two Ashly Preamps and two BGW power amps if memory serves.

Man... They look so young in that clip. I think I used to have the same shirt that Alex is wearing. How embarrassing. And look how small Neils drum kit is!

Sheesh, I feel old now.

Yeah, I'm thinking V4 4X12 cabs over B25 2X15s... Those V4s are killer cabs bass cabs (not like I'm biased or anything )

Yes, that is what I meant. It was somewhere around Kings or Hemispheres I think.
