Thought so.

I really liked how the Category 5 cabs looked.....I built a 212 with that colour scheme.

Re: New Cabs?

They are definitely Van Weelden cabs. A brand new Van Weelden amp is sitting on the top of them. Cat 5 on that. I've got a lot of video that hasn't been processed from San Diego and I have some good shots of the amps and cabs.

Do they look a little on the small side to anyone else?  Maybe it's just me..

Well, the previous ones were more prominent, these look just black...

Re: New Cabs?

I think he mainly uses the Van Weelden in Europe and uses his other cabs across the pond tongue I believe he has 2 different setups

Re: New Cabs?

They're Van Weelden cabs. I hope they're virtually indestructible. Joe's cabs don't seem to last too long. The road really takes it's toll. Or is it because of the hired stage hands?

Re: New Cabs?

Love the way JB's slide is somehow attached to the back of the headstock. At least I think thats where its at before he uses it.

Love the new back drop also........looks like a stone wall.....or crumpled tin foil, both cool.

Re: New Cabs?

Check the guitar center sessions, where he talks about slide, and the Gibson Prototype that he used there for slide.

He says that a magnet was installed to the back of the headstock and the slide rests on it.

I'd imagine the magnet was either glued or velcroed on.
