The Hip's Amps? - kithkin - 03-15-2005

Okay. I tried searching the forum (as well as, you know, the internet) for anything to do with this and couldn't find anything.

Does Anybody know what amps The Hip use? I'm thinking particularly of their electric sounds from Fully Completely (the album).
All I can make out from the concert photos I've seen is a Marshall cab or two in the background, but I'm not even sure if it's a Marshall head sitting on top of that or not.
I can't find this stuff anywhere. And yes, feel free to shout at me if this question is asked all the time, but I can't find any threads about it, so I think I'm maaaybe safe.

Here's the gear in their studio: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thebathouse.com/equipment.html">http://www.thebathouse.com/equipment.html</a>

There are loads of pictures, and DVDs that probably show what the equipment is on stage, but I have no idea about album specifics...

And oh yeah, welcome aboard!

Okay, after further further research, this has been edited. Again.
Paul Langlois plays... I still don't know. Not sure what he plays. Something into a Marshall cabinet... maybe an old Marshall head? Does anybody know? There's usually another big cab right next to his with a Fender head of some sort on top of it, but I'm not sure if they're related at all. Anybody know, or have good (not blurry, and big enough to read) pictures of him? I couldn't find any over the last hour...

Robbie Baker plays a Mesa-Boogie Lonestar, as far as I can tell from some concert pictures, so that mystery is solved. Um, yay. Hopefully somebody else cares too. a-heh.

I've seen some sort of Line 6 amp in behind Paul at many shows. I think I remember seeing a Fender head of some sort as well (not sure on that one).

As D-Man said, there is definitely a Line 6 head on stage behind Paul. I've got a picture of it on my work computer; I'll try to get it posted this afternoon.

does anyone know what Gord Sinclair uses?

- moejiles - 02-05-2006

I would love to see a section devoted to the Hips gear on their website - something similar to the gear section on Mike McCreadys web site -www.giventowail.com that lists all of Pearl Jam's gear c/w pics.

Intersting site about the Bathouse. I didn't realize it could be rented by random ppl. I also did not know it was such a nice house/area.

I thought it was strictly owned and used by the Hip?

Or do they own it? Anyone know?

As far as I know, and everything that I've read/seen confirms that it is owned by The Hip.
