open-g On the Bigger Bang Tour Ron had 4 Fender "Vibro King" and a Black Face Fender "Bassman Amp" on the main stage.
on B-stage, 2 Fender "Twin Amp"

Mr Jurkka b-stage has different amps? I think he play the same amps in b-stage too. And they are fenders.

SLAVE On Licks i remerber he uses 2 Vibrokings on main stage plus a Fender Deluxe for lap-steel guitar,and on b-stage a pair of Fender Twin-amp like Keith

nope - they are Fenders of course, but Twin Amps, just like Keith's.

guitarman53 Ronnie is a Fender man, he uses Fender, I'd rather look at his Stratocaster, then look at him, that guitar is a '53 Fender.

mark The original 40 watt tweed Fender Twins are quite hard to come by and worth a pretty penny. I've read a few articles in guitar related mags with Keith talking about the low power Twins and how he has a nice little collection with very low serial numbers. I believe he uses those on the main stage. Looks like Ronnie has picked a couple up also, unless these are the reissue as shown on that photo from the b stage but they appeasr to be of vintage caliber. Great amps.

On past tours Ronnie used Vox, Ampeg, Mesa Boogie and Fender amps.
and he doesn't only play Fender Statocaster guitars.
Zemaitis, Versoul, ESP, Duesenberg, Tom Anderson, Dan Armstrong (gasp) - just to name a few.

so your conclusion "Ronnie is a Fender man, he uses Fender"
is a bit of stretch - or should I say rubbish?

But it just dont make any sense. It would be much easier to use the same amps?

I know that he uses other instruments! but most people know Fender & fucking Gibson, but how many people know about all these other fucking foreign names that you're talking about!!!
19th October 2007 04:37 PM
gimmekeef Hell I still find it amazing that the sounds come from those ancient brown boxes sittin on the stage....
19th October 2007 07:40 PM
open-g So you know he uses other instruments aswell - yet you generalize him being a Fender man.

How come?

I don't have a clue how many people can only tell if it's a Gibson or Fender, but I assume they'd want to be educated while they're reading threads like this.

A Fender & a Gibson has a complete different sound, a Fender is more twangy sound, while the Gibson is a clean sound, depending on the way it's set-up, it's hard to really tell Ron's Fender sound while he's got Keith playing, but Keith plays a lot of Fender's telecaster too.

mrhipfl Keith should play some Les Pauls more often. It would rock on songs like Bitch and Satisfaction. I wonder if maybe his fingers have gotten too big for the LP frets?
