To much talk on the board about the setlist. Do we have a guy from M&G who is going to give us the live gear set up, updates?

    I'll be at the Camden shows and will do what I can do. With my 315xxx 10c number I won't be too helpful unless I get one of the lottery seats.

    From some pictures from last night shows that were posted. Stones 1974x is gone and there is a Savage combo in it's place.

    I would love to get a pic of Mike's pedal board. (Close enough to see settings) Maybe someone will get lucky and a roady will take a good pic for them.

    That was his best live sound ever, I'm very happy to see the Blitz 50 back in action. I was on his side in Birmingham several years ago pretty much on the level with the amp about 10 rows back... I've never heard him sound better. Maybe not that particular show, but that amp specifically. He sounds perfect through it.

    It's a killer amp for sure. EL34's sound killer.

    For what he likes... I just think it's a perfect match, far less compressed than the Early 90's sound and it fattens up the "charlie brown" fiesta red strat perfectly for that solo in DTE. Not sure what he's using in studio probably a blend of a lot of stuff but live... The Blitz 50 could just be renamed Stone's Amp.

    Totally agree with you. Man i wish we could get a spread sheet for any of the other albums. The one for Riot Act was interesting.

    I was going to mention that Tele. He played 3 teles that night. The worn butterscotch one (which i think is new), the red one (that he used in IIC to reflect the light on the crowd), and the sparkly one with the p-90.

    Thought it was new, just wasn't sure. I figured someone would say something sooner or later.

    Yeah, I noticed that when I watched a Bonnaroo vid. He took the grill off and the tolex (My buddy did that a while ago) on his cabs. Also, cab positioning is different.

    The riot act spread sheet had a fender bass amp used on a couple songs. Now one appears in the live rig.

    Just got back from the Camden shows. For night two I won the lottery (but was further to the right side so I couldn't see any boards). It appears Mike's amp setup is the same as the last tour. From what I can recall, Mike didn't bust out any new guitars. Stone had a few new guitars, including an interesting acoustic/electric which he used on Nothing As It Seems (it's possible he's used it before since that was the first time I'd seen that song live).

    Main point...Stone's tone through the Savage is unreal. FINALLY Stone's tone has been beefed up. Stone used Strats for 90% of the set and it sounded phenomenal. I wish Mike would take notice as his Strat tone is pretty thin, which isn't a big deal on a lot of songs but I get the feeling that there are some moments when he needs his tone to get raunchier (like when he plays the star spangled banner and it's WAY too clean).

    yes, I saw Jeff's amps.. it's HUGE.. I hadn't realised that on previous tours (I was Stone's side at most of the shows I attended. Now taht he removed the grill, you can see how big is his amp. What does he have ? 12 or 16 12 inches cabs ?

    Jeff has been using the 6x10 SWR cabs for years now. It just appears from the website pictures that he is playing thru the 70's fender showman in lieu of the SVT. Suprising indeed. Anybody going to any of the shows left if they could verify this, that would be fantastic.

    Mike had a black Les Paul without a pickguard that I don't recall ever seeing before, but I could be wrong.

    Yeah, that's the Custom he's used on Given To Fly for the last couple tours.

    He used it a lot though, not just on Given To Fly, but on Brian of J, and a few others that are escaping me right now.

    Jeff switched from SWR cabs to Ampeg SVT cabs in 2005 following a fallout with SWR over their sponsorship. Those bright orange cabs are his Ampeg 6x10 cabs from that tour, minus the grills.

    I would imagine that Jeff still has a couple SVT amps in his rig, just behind the amps in their own roadcase. This is done a lot, because having a good tube amp with a lot of tubes (especially power tubes, like the SVT) sitting on top of a big vibrating, rattling bass cab stack is a BAAAAAD idea.

    I also noticed that he's still rocking the Ashdown head, which he's been using for his stand-up bass for a few years now. The Fender is new, at least for his live rig. I'd love to figure out what that is... Showman? Maybe... could also be a later-era Bassman head. Definitely not a Dual Showman.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Ampeg 6x10, the freaking handle should of gave it away. The 6x10's are great sounding, and it's awesome to stand in front of one. That punch in the chest is just killer. I believe it's just a showman head. The notes from the Riot Act recording spread sheet stating he used a showman a couple times. I agree with the tubes taking a beating from the vibrations. I've personally never had problems on the bass side of things with this, more on the combo guitar amp side of things, especially 6V6's.

    No matter what you can't go wrong playing through a SVT, but it's extremely nice to see something else up there for sure. Hopefully we can get some more updates in the upcoming shows.
