Equipment
Toody is known to play a late-1960's semi-hollow Vox teardrop bass, due to its shorter-scale length and ease of use. She often plays through a V-4 Ampeg and Ampeg SVT bass amp head(s) and has also used an Ampeg 4x12 Speaker Cab live. In Europe, Toody uses a VHT 2-15 Speaker cab. Fred uses a 50-watt Marshall Red Head and a Guild Thunderbird Guitar. He also has a 4x12 cab in the US and one in Europe. Fred and Toody both prefer Shure SM58 mics. Andrew used a kick, snare, hat, floor tom, and one ride cymbal, from the school of thought that "less is more." During each show, Andrew would pour a beer onto the floor tom and splash beer everywhere. Before every show, Andrew would also light a candle on a Jack Daniels bottle which was attached to a kick drum where the rack toms are normally. Fred, Toody, and Andrew would then have a short ritual prayer, and then "throw down" until they were done.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
“Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
—Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
