Prince's Amp on this tour.

Hi. For those who have seen the Chick Sabbath tour up close what amps is Prince using?

On the Billboard Awards on the far right I saw a Mesa Boogie cab but I can't tell which model it is.

I wonder why P chose Vox Guitars for this tour?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh crap I can't remember what it was when I saw 3EG. Hannah's backline seemed to be big. But I'm pretty sure that I saw that the amp kind of angled off stage right... I think was a Fender Bassmasn 4x12? Which, if I'm right, is cool, because I have been considering getting one for the better part of this year.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a Fender Bassman.

There's a tweet from Rusty Shackleford with a picture of the amp prepped for Prince to play through for Larry Graham's Dakota shows. I'm pretty sure it's the same type of Fender Bassman I saw at the first run of 3EG shows at the front of the stage. I haven't checked, but you might even see it during the Jimmy Kimmel show videos.
