The Band and their guitar gear!!!

[medgekin]

Hey guys,

I'm brand new to this forum, and to be honest, I'm not a long time fan or anything. My wife loves Morrissey and the Smiths, and we just went to see Morrissey play at the Fillmore in San Francisco a month or so ago. I have to say that it was a killer show! Morrissey is a real artist, and his band totally brought everything to the table and put on a top notch show!

Being a guitar nut, I was star-struck by all the killer gear up on stage that was making me drool up a storm. In particular, one of the guitarists had two of the same semi-hollow-bodied Fender guitars that sounded awesome and looked great. When I started searching the web, I found it nearly impossible to find a listing of the band members (full names, etc) and I can't find any info on their gear.

Someone help me out here please! Who are these guys, and what is all that killer gear?!?! Especially that Fender semi-hollow.

I know eff-all about equipment, but the band members are:

Boz Boorer -rythym guitar (and more)
Solomon Walker -bass
Matt Walker -drums
Jesse Tobias -lead guitar
Mike Farrell -keyboards (and more)

They are an awesome, tight band. They rock! Funny this came up. . .we were talking about the guitars the other day on the sidewalk outside the NYC gigs, wondering what it must cost to insure them! Boz has some really nice ones.

Odds are you were looking at Boz Boorer's collection. Boz has a few uncaptioned pics of the gear in his home studio here. Don't know whether they're of any interest to you.

I found this information on Solomon....I believe he's Matt's brother (some people say his last name is Snyder though?):

1977 Fender Jazz Bass / Ampeg Classic Bass Head / Ampeg 8x10 cabinet

I believe the guitar Jesse plays is a Fender Starcaster, see here:
