He can also plug his bass with one cable into a regular electric guitar amp and achieve the same thin, distorted sound he needs all this stuff for.

I never liked his bass tone at all, I've heard better tone coming from a $500 combo. They get paid to use all that crap, There is no need for that much gear ever..

that's one hell of a complicated rig... even my brand new setup I'll be getting fir a shade under £1000 ain't gonna be that crazily overdone, just a Hartke HA3500 semi-valvestate amp (350W), a Hartke 400W 4X10 Hartke cab (means I don't blow the drivers... then again... they're Hartke, doubt I could pop the 350W 1X15" on a HA3500 amp), a Yamaha RBX170EW in tobacco burst (absolutely gorgeous bass!!!), new case and a vox wah pedal... all to be picked up within the week I posted this message :3... hope I remember to get a flight case at some point!!!

When Gene Simmons hears Billy, he thinks: "I'm Gene Simmons, Billy Sheehan works a hundred times as hard for one hundredth the money. All of our music sucks and our fans are stupid - and his doesn't even have the sophomoric hooks. What a loser, and our fans are losers, but I like their money." Then he goes into his leather padded cave somewhere in Los Angeles and gorges himself on Palestinian fetuses. Or so I hear...

I hate his rig. It's too complicated. I have a GK 400RB from the 80s with a modern/vintage 5-string Warmoth J. Billy can smoke me as a player, but my gear is better. And I'm girl-gettin' simple. And I'm studying Jamerson... ;)

Nice rig Billy! I love the Hartke stuff, I had an LH1000 and still have an old HA3500 MOSFET head thru a Hartke Hydrive 15 cab. Swap those 3500s with the MOSFET ones Billy!

I wonder how much that Pearce Pre-amp makes his sound, because going from Ampeg to Hartke I wouldn't know the difference. :P
