I find the pic of the Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ amp in his rig interesting. I guess maybe he's using that instead of a power amp that's intended for guitar? Or, he just shares a rack with the bass player.

Generally, James makes it sound like he isn't obsessed with gear. But then, so did Billy C in his own Premier Guitar rig rundown: https://youtu.be/_eVH5vUR8u8

Maybe they just don't have to be anymore, having gone through everything and already knowing what sounds they like and having the equipment to produce them.

They show a bass immediately after showing the bass amp.
