Duff Mckagan playing GK & Fender?

Probly going for a bit of the SVT style tube sound PLUS the GK grind. The Super Bassman will do many types of grind with the drive channel and sweepable mids, but I dunno re getting the 'GK grind' ???

 

Kinda sorta. On the Boost channel, the MB's are close enough in a live setting IME/IMO. It's not the same as it's not possible to actually "hit the rails" on an MB head, but it sound a pretty good approximation of it.

 

Maybe he actually likes them?

 

Why? Because Duff McKagan does what he wants! Really, a player of his profile can play or afford anything he wants. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy (and really nice) so if I were to guess, i'd say something with this rig has an advantage over his old rig, to get the tone where it needs to be. Peoples' taste change over time.

A little off-topic... those Fender Bassman heads have been encroaching on what was otherwise SVT and Mesa territory slowly, but surely. I've noticed several artists have made the jump, but for reasons unknown. Maybe Fender is in a giving mood as of late.

 

For reasons unknown. ... they do sound fantastic ya know! And shots like the one above help sell more. A picture's worth a thousand amps ain't that the saying?

 

maybe he's running a dirty rig and a clean rig and blending them. dunno.

 

Makes sense. It looks like he has a Radial switcher/splitter down below
If my middle age eyes see correctly the his EQ points on the GK's look the same as he usually uses. I'm thinking GK for the clean and the Fender for the overdrive.

I don't have any answers to the original question.

I just want clarification whether Duff's rig has to compete against ALL of those Supro and Voodoo amps at once? That's an awful lot of guitar amp right there.

 

Probly just to feel his pants flap and users in-ears

 

Wow

 

Who is the 2nd guitarist on this tour?

 

I imagine he plays what he's paid to play, like many players.

 

Of course not.

 

Richard Fortus I believe.
