    Anymore it's probably Tim Sult of Clutch for a guitar rig. Just fantastic classic tone. Good fuzz, good overdrive.

    As for bass, there are a million folks out there with the best rig. P-bass through a 70's SVT head.

    i love it.
    hahaha, Does he only play that les paul? I heard he drives his tubes so hard, they catch fire which makes his tone amazing!

    Gotta love David Gilmour's setup and tone. Simply tonal perfection.

    Also: Trey Anastasio circa 93-97.

    Gilmour's stage setup makes me drool uncontrollably... if you don't know who Pete Cornish is, he's my hero.

    I was always just amazed by Jeff Ament's stage rig... while ATY has a point on bass tone (P-bass with an SVT is always a killer choice), Ames has some REALLY cool shit going on in his rig.

    Then again, if I could get away with that stage volume, Angus Young.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Those SWR 6x10s are flat out amazing. Fulltone Bass Drive sounds good when drive is needed, but for me just the amp turned up to the point where there is slight break up when going up the neck is all that's needed.

    Have to agree with a vote for Gilmour, since I idolise everything about his playing, but i'm also a hopeless Hammett-head, so I have to put in a nod for him. Listen closely and it's not all high gain. I just love that screaming tone.
    Mike's 59 burst has to get a mention as well, as does Joe Bonamassa's four head rig with either his R9 or Gigliotti tele.

    I really dig Mike Einziger and Joe Satriani's rigs. I love pedals and dislike racks.

    I agree with Mike's rig. Have you seen Omar's rig from the Mars Volta? It's overkill. I think I have JUST ENOUGH pedals before overkill. I also dislike rigs

    Well, regardless of what anyone thinks of his playing, I think it would be hard to turn down a chance to mess with Edge's rig. The guy travels with about 200 world class guitars, nearly a dozen amps, one of the best live sound guys in the business and oh yeah, nearly every pedal and rack effect ever invented. You could strip it down, get rid of 3/4 of it, and still have a(n over)killer rig.

    +1 on Neil Young and Dave Gilmour... and oh what the hey, a nod for Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew.

    I agree on the Edge.
    There is a lot of U2 hate on this board, but I love em. I bought a tab book recently, and have been fiddling with some of their songs. Edge sounds easy to play , until you try it, and then you suddenly realise that it is a bit more complex than it sounds, and less is definitely more.
    Subtle, but precise.
