I'm sure we've spoken about this session before, however, it still fascinates me.

Listen to tracks 8 & 9. Pan your stereo far right and listen to Weir. This provides great insight into his sound on Blues For Allah. He's playing his new Ibanez, however, too my ears, I don't hear any single coil sound as opposed to '76-'83. How would one describe and reproduce this sound? It's that clanky, metallic sound that slices right through. I'm guessing he's playiing both Super 80s as humbuckers with the volume pots rolled off to get a thinner sound. I also think the speakers are a key ingredient (JBL's with metal domes??). Can any ID any of Weir's equipment in these photos:
