Funny coincidence - I was watching an Alice Cooper live show on video a
couple of nights ago during his "Welcome To My Nightmare" period (mid
'70's?) with Prakash John in the band. He did a nice little solo during the
band intros at the end.

Anybody know what rig he was using during this period? He was playing a
blonde Rickenbacker and getting a good grinding tone (although the audio on
the vid was a bit lo-fi) but I couldn't make out what amp(s) he was using.

I saw Lou on that tour........it was a mindblower! I loved Prakash's tone big
time! He played a Rick, but I don't remember what amp he used. They
remastered that album a few years back with extra songs.....it still sounds
great!
Great guitar playing too!
Aloha, Jerry

Yeah, my bro caught that tour & said it was a mindbender too.
It's a Rick alright, but ampwise, no light from my side either....

You know, I love all those bass tones from that 70's period & nowadays
people are killing themselves for those sounds thru all the latest
state of the art gear. I know Jaco always said it was in the hands &
it's true, those guys just got on with the job & created the vibe &
sound no matter what setup or circumstance.

Nice to know PJ lives on in the group by the way, last I heard, he was
doing a low key (storming) residency somewhere in Canada....

Love his playing.....

Best...
