Rig ID?..John Stirratt/Wilco..Shroeder tube head?

[Hizzoner]

I wonder if anyone has played through a shroeder bass head?

I see John Stirratt using one on top of two ampeg cabs(410"s?) and what looks like an avalon DI.

I also found shroeder here in Chicago but see no bass heads on their website:

Schroeder DB7

Here is Wilco live and you can see the rig there:
Wilco I Might - Live on Letterman - YouTube

I can't speak on John's gear, but I'd like to chime in on his character. Got a chance to talk with him in 2006 when he was doing gigs with his sister Laurie as "John & Laurie Stirrat." My band opened for them and John was super cool. Very supportive of the whole "struggling americana band" thing and just a genuinely nice guy.

Nice! I met Stirratt about a year ago (super-nice guy, he signed the back of the headstock on my DS'd Lakland) and he said he was going back to his DS'd bass from vintage Fenders to get more underneath the band because the ensemble's become so large (I'm paraphrasing).

Based on the link, I assume Nels turned him onto the company and they built him a custom. Never been inside, but they're right next to where Bass Club Chicago was located until recently.

I remember seeing that repair shop when visiting Bass Club.hmm...his amp looks bigger than the guitar amp they have on their website. Cool stuff..

That's the rig he played at the Metropole in Montreal when I saw them last August.

Might as well have played anything, the FOH sound was so piss poor. Line array system, but set up so it was blindingly loud up front, muddy everywhere, and the only decent sound was at the back of the room on the second floor balcony.

I've seen a few gigs there with lousy sound, maybe there is a problem with the room, but it's an ordinary old theater-come-concert hall, should be able to get some decent consistent levels instead of a muddy, blurry, mess.

Does anyone know what's making the fuzz on the fuzzy bass parts in "I Might?" I haven't gotten to watch the Letterman version yet, but on the studio track I'm in love with how deep it is, with just the right amount of zing when he goes up the neck

Was the soundman up on the balcony?

That would at least have explained something, but, alas, no, his booth is halfway back on the main floor.

The line array speakers are hung very low there when used, I've wondered if that has something to do with it.

We have that amp in stock now. Thanks!

He always sounds great- one of the reasons I first experimented with Darkstars!

$4000, eh? Too rich for my blood but I'll bet the guy sells what he makes.
