HOMME :
Citation:
Josh Homme recently confessed that he doesn’t own a Les Paul or a Strat. He has a penchant for interesting, used gear and enjoys experimenting with boundaries. His current touring guitars include a MotorAve BelAire, which was made by Mark Fuqua in Durham, NC. He also plays a Fender Tele, a vintage Teisco, and Maton guitars which are made in Melbourne, Australia. His amp rig includes a Supro Sportsman head and a 1939 Gibson EH-150. He plugs into the Supro’s high input with reverb and tremolo. It runs through a ported Klear Sound plexiglass 4x12 cab loaded with Celestions. The Gibson has a 12" speaker and runs through an unnamed 2x12 cabinet. Unfortunately, Homme was not keen on having his pedalboard photographed. We can tell you he has been known to use the following pedals on this tour: the Maestro Parametric Filter, an Ernie Ball volume pedal, a Fulltone Ultimate Octave, a Roland RE-20 Space Echo, and an SIB EchoDrive.
JONES :
Citation:
All of John Paul Jones’ stringed instruments are custom made by his bass tech, Hugh Manson. Manson is also a luthier and sells instruments under the Manson name in England. John Paul Jones’ amp rig consists of SWR SM900 heads, SWR Goliath 4x12 cabs (with Eminence drivers and a Foster horn), SWR Son of Bertha 15” cabs (with a Custom SWR driver and a Foster Horn), a Bad Cat Black Cat amp head and a Bad Cat 60-watt combo.
Citation:
Jones’ pedal board is fairly simple, containing an Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi, a Boss SD-1 and a switcher.
JOHANNES :
Citation:
Touring musician Alain Johannes fills out the Vultures’ sound on the road. He uses a wide range of gear which includes a hollowbody Les Paul that he recently picked up in L.A.
