Question What are these classic War cabs?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was salivating at ALL these cabs actually. Looks like Marshall's on both sides for the guitar, maybe 3 Leslie's for the keys, another Fender in there ,and 3 2X15's powered by SVT's but I don't know if they were all assigned to Dickerson's Jazz bass or not. *Also diggin' these "Bonus" Fender Rhodes riffs on here.

Anybody know what cabs he's using for the bass rig here?

Good shot of the 2x15's around 1:26, another good shot of Dickerson's Jazz bass around 3:10.

No, Road. I believe they were made by Rickenbacker? Correct me if I'm wrong.

nope...r-o-a-d. it was started by bud ross, the former head of kustom, after he sold kustom, and was later bought by rickenbacker in the 80's.

I'm guessing those bass heads are v4b's, they look a little wide for svt's.

Road marketed itself as a High end Solid State company.

Bud Ross, as Jimmy said, founded ROAD after he lost Kustom gambling.

The Road 440 is one of the best sounding amps ever. Definitely my favorite solid state amp.

Agreed, I also wasn't sure if those were 15's or 18's - but man, that backline just reeks of MOJO imho...

Thanks for the info on Roads. Fender Rhodes did market a stereo cab set that was pretty rad too iirc, but me thinks that was probably intended for the keyboard guys.

i couldn't get a definitive look, but i'm almost positive there were 4 inputs, which would make those heads svt's.
