On acoustic amps?? Looks like he's changed more than just his bass. Any thoughts? Or other changes?

That tat is likely twice your age. Yeah, it was once allowable for a musician to respect another musician who played a different instrument. Crazy, huh?

Those amps are awesome looking. If I ever need a bigger rig, I would get one of those.

so those amps are new? i can see what looks like power amps in the bottom of the cabs, like the old 360s had IIRC.

really though, does someone playing stadiums really "use" bass amps? he's gotta have a direct sound through whatever preamps and processing, and he's likely hearing it back through monitors of some sort. who's actually hearing those amps? probably not the audience.

Weird... a few months ago, he was on the back of a Bass Player mag advetising GK... I'm surprised at his choice of amps... acoustics aren't known for quality at all.

Those are new 360's he's planking on.

And they retail for $5k each....ouch!
