BlueMoon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Probably the one he used on Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty" tour.....was around that time, me thinks. He was using a double necked bass as well around then, according to pics in the vinyl sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 But is it any good for metal? Asking for a friend... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's probably very good for fracking. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 that would make a superb home hi-fi set up. Just needs a decent turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Reminds me of the first major band i was in The Leader says we are pooling some gigs to get an old Ambulance with aircraft seats fitted so we can all travel together. Its what you did in the 70's 😁 Within a couple of months he bought a new PA and ripped the seats out to make room for it and the stage risers and lights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Are those multiple Fender 400PS heads racked up in the older picture? That must have been a pretty crazy setup for the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex local health authority Transit ambulance with twin wheel rear axle and a 3 litre V6 motor - you could almost see the fuel gauge going down! Every time we broke down whilst waiting for the AA to arrive we used to open a book taking bets on what it was this time. Finally died on the M18 and we reverted to using our own cars to get to gigs.

TN WOODMAN Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I remember an interview with Leland years ago talking about this monster rig. He put it together for a tour he did playing bass for Canadian rocker Billy “Children Of The Sun” Thorpe. I don’t recall the total wattage but he said the thing was unbelievable.

lemmywinks Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 "I had a transposition pedal hooked up for the bass synth that I could literally hit my low E string and drop it almost three octaves. We were getting down in the area of 6Hz at probably about 130dB. The first time we actually tested it we all threw up and cracked a wall in the warehouse. It was fantastic." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 And it's fantasy. Even the Grateful Dead Wall of Sound couldn't produce 6Hz at 130dB. Makes for good reading, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
