Has anybody seen the Show Box gig Pearl Jam did in Dec 2002? Has Jeff started using Ashdown amps? I noticed what looked like an Ashdown ABM head on his rig..

    I don't know for sure I didn't think so but it sure looks like it dosen't it. That big yellow VU meter is right there.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Yeah You really can't go wrong with them. Hell If Entwistle used them they must be awesome.

    Jeff is using an Ashdown for the upright bass. Quoted from Bass Player Magazine:

    "When Ament plays his Azola electric upright, the chain is much simpler: A cord runs into an Ashdown ABM 500 EVO head, which powers its own 6x10."

    No prob... I've been really interested in getting an ABM head for my Sunn 6x10" cabinet. A lot of money, but it's worth it!

    I have a Ashdown MAG combo, 4 x 10" speakers, 250 watt. It's sounds ace, especially with my Musicman plugged into it. i'm working my way up to an ABM!

    I just have a MIM P-Bass. It's great, but nothing plays or sounds like a Stingray 4.

    yeah, that's true. It's the growl, it's totally unique! i'm sure Jeff used to play one, i seem to remember a pic of him on the front of Bass Player with an orange one??

    I've never seen Jeff with a Music Man...

    He plays older Fender P- and J-Basses, and the Modulus basses, and his old Warwick fretless, among others. But I've never seen him with a Stingray.
