Macca - fair weather Boogie man

[Steve Browning]

I see pictures of Macca with a pair of Ashdown cabs behind him.

I know he came to Boogie after I had shown him the way but only one of us seems to have lasted the distance. 

Has he switched? Quite a surprise not to see a Boogie rig there.

I thought that Macca used Boogie and the other bass player, Brian Ray, was the one using Ashdown.

I've just been reading an article and although there was details about mics for guitar cab and acoustic instruments half way up his mic stand there was nothing about micing the bass cabs, they don't wear in ears as the stage volume is kept at around 90db upto 105db for rocking stuff. I suspect any bass cabs you are looking at you can only hear with your eyes, the much higher quality monitor wedges in front of him is what he's listening to via whatever high end processing is going on at the desk.

Wonder if he'll still be with them next year for Glasto?

That’s a great song title btw

There are videos on YouTube of him playing through Ashdown stuff from Memory Almost Full era, circa 2007.

I was pretty sure he was an Ashdown man.
