Here is what it takes in terms of equipment to deliver a G2 show to you bunch of Genesis lovin nutters. This page is pretty clinical, for all you tech-heads who like to know about the nuts & bolts... Reproducing Rutherford 1980 MusicMan Stingray Bass 1979 Shergold 6/4 Custom Double Neck 1998 Takamine Acoustic 1976 Moog Taurus MK1 Bass Pedals 1981 Moog Taurus MK1 Bass Pedals Passive Stereo Volume Pedal DigiTech X-Series Bass (Overdrive/Distortion) Pedal Zoom G2.1U Guitar (Multi Effects) Pedal Behringer PMP1280S Ultra Compact 2x600W Stereo Powered Mixer Ashdown Superfly 284, 2x8" NEO Loaded, 300W, 4-Ohm, Cab - (added 500w Heavy Duty Titanium Super Bullet Tweeter with 2.5Khz Passive Crossover) Ashdown Superfly 1154, 1x15" NEO Loaded, 400W, 4-Ohm, Cab - (added 600w Heavy Duty Titanium Super Bullet Tweeter with 2.5Khz Passive Crossover) Lots of cables and connectors! The 1981 Moog Taurus pedals (my first set) have attracted some interest so here is their story. I bought them new from the "South Eastern Entertainments Agency" in Lewisham High Street, way back on the 27th March 1981. Still got the receipt! They cost £530 - which was a shed-load at the time and were pretty much the last set of MK1 pedals. After that the MK2 came out and they just died, nobody liked them, nobody wanted them and Prog was a pariah anyway, so the idea of standing on one leg, playing a guitar with more neck than a giraffe, was for squares! d:o) Reproducing Hackett Pre-aged Les Paul Jimmy Page model, with coil taps and phase switching Jackson JTX Fender Acoustic 12 String (Dean Markley Magnetic Pick-Up) Crafter Nylon Electric Zoom GFX707 Guitar FX Unit Boss GX700 Guitar Pre-Amp/FX & Unit/Amp Modeller Line 6 DM4 Distortion Modeller Lehle 3at1 Signal Switching Box Roland FC200 MIDI Board Controller Peavey Classic 50/50 Valve Power Amp Marshall 1912 Cabinet More cables and connectors!
