Does anyone know what kind of amps Cliff used?
I can't seem to find it anywhere since most gear lists only post cabinets by Mesa/boogie and Ampeg.
I assume he used amps by one of those two brands, but I'm not sure.

he used Mesa Boogie gear with larger speakers... like 15".... I don't know if he ever used anything else in combination, like guitar speakers or amps, though

I already knew that he used Mesa 4x12's and custom mesa 1x15's (basically a 4x12 cabinet converted to a single 15 inch speaker), but I want to know what kind of amps he used.
someone out there should know...

OK, thanks man, he probably used mesa bass 400+ heads which were the only ones they made back then.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe that he stuffed a 1x15 speaker into an Ampeg 4x10 enclosure.
I think that's where the ampeg part comes in.
My "Legendary Licks: Metallica" bass book says that Cliff used a Mesa Boogie amp with a 2x15 mesa boogie cab but I've never seen him with any 2x15s.

That ampeg 1540HE cabinet is a 4x10 + 1x15 cab, but I believe he used that prior to the boogie stuff, like on Kill em all, but I'm not quite sure with what amp, probably an SVT.
Anyway, thanks guys, this helped me a bit further.
