Funny enough when I first saw the picture the first bassist I thought of was John Entwhistle.

You might need rigging certification to safely transport that thing !

It eliminates the need for fans on stage!

We've seen this one before, on this old thread which also has some specs on the newer version. Nice to see the older version!

I don't know, this seems bigger, louder and more hifi:

The two tall stacks on either side combined are the bass rig.

Now that really DID require rigging ! That Bass rig was rigged!!!!!

I actually own a few little bites of it at this time .

I seem to recall Kreutzman saying he was always worried that the vocal array would fall on him.

He also said it sounded like dog doo from where he was. I asked him about how it was to play with the WOS and said he just hated it. However, Phil loved it. He likened to piloting a flying saucer.

Cool Wolf,
I could guess you have a few 15 cabs , am I warm ??

I have a few rack units from FOH or a monitoring station. I'll take some pics. I'm using one piece almost every day in my guitar rig as a splitter/ boost and buffer between the fuzzface and wah.

Well, there was no FOH for this rig. Every instrument went into its own stack, which was both FOH and monitor. The mix was completely determined by the band.

There were some mixers for the vocals, drums and piano.

elwoodblue , I have 15's and some 12's . A double 12 as well. All Gauss and JBL loaded at this time. Also some ALEMBIC A15's that are a tad smaller then the actual WOS 15's. I also have one very early BAGEND in that same style that is even a TAD smaller then an ALEMBIC A15 . Last but not least in that style the mighty ALEMBIC A18 Gauss loaded . In that style I am referring to Birch plywood infinite baffle front mounted design with aluminum speaker clamps. The actual single WOS 15 design is a large unit and is not really all that easy to transport on it's own . The WOS was an amazing monster . I am grateful to have experienced it a few times .

You must have a huge garage! I have a very early Bag End double 12 that is very much in the style. Way too big to be practical. It came with Gauss drivers, but those are long gone. I've tried it out with JBLS, but haven't had that much luck. I'd love to load it up with something that might sound good. I like infinite baffle cabinets, but haven't found the right drivers for this cab yet.

Very open to suggestions!
