Lees amp?
 
does anybody know what amp/cabinet Lee is using lately when playing live? some closeup pictures would be nice; on most of the pictures from last year all I can see is that is some kind of fender head, but its too small to see what model it is..

....till not to much time ago Lee used live with SY a Bassman redface (Blackface AA AB I dont know) with a 4x10 or 4x12 cabinet. they have 40/50 watt clean into 2 or 4 Om.

thanks, this looks like a 2x12'' cabinet; btw. I thought that super reverbs were produced only as combos..

hes been using this for twentymillion years right?
i saw it in pictures from back in the eighties.
or are these different amps just the same 'design'?

He had to replace his amps after the '99 gear theft, if I'm not mistaken.

Lee: "My main amp was a '63 Fender Super Reverb that I busted out of its combo casing to make a separate amp head and closed-back 4x10 speaker cabinet. I did that rood primarily to keep the sound from blowing out the back of the [original] cabinet onstage".
