This, except I think the front plate may have been red plastic instead of steel.

A couple of Matons (one with lightning bolt shaped f-holes, perhaps the rockingest thing I've ever seen), there was a Reverend something or other too, and a checkered SG bass. I dunno if was Gibson as I only seen it from behind, but it was SG shaped. I nearly dropped all of these guitars (there were on the one rack, and people hadn't cleared a path from the stage entrance to where the guitars had to go, so were were stood around for a while holding the rack).
The amps were cool:
There were two Orange heads, and two Orange cabs (410 and 115). I'm assuming the bass went through one of these heads. Orange heads are fucking heavy.
There was a Supro head and 212, finished in red velvet. Cool as fuck.
The other amp was something with a large, golden logo, in very intricate, italic script. The cabinet had a huge logo, in the same intricate script.
I don't remember seeing any pedals, but something might come back to me.
Also: Gigantic Sunglasses.
They were really cool. The singer was outside smoking after they came off, and made a point of thanking us as we were taking stuff out to their trailer. Also, when we brought a sofa around to their dressing room, they made a point of thanking us. After we got their stuff loaded out, we went back to the catering area ( we were half way through dinner when they came off, and had to leave our meals to go work), and the singer came in and announced to us "I am going to my room to roll the biggest joint you have ever seen, just weed. Come and meet me if you want to, just follow the smell." He then turned to who I'm assuming was the tour co-ordinator and shouted "I want everyone here high by midnight," before turning and walking out of the room.
Nice guys. They're Mac users, you know. Except for one of them, he had a netbook.
Early start tomorrow. It's a theatre show called Thriller. Think it might be a tribute to Patrick Swayze.
