THREE 4 X 12 SPEAKER CABINETS, 1960BX

These 4x12 1960BX speaker cabinets were a staple Jeff Beck's live rig for around a decade spanning the 2000s. Photos and tour manifests from the time show that these three cabs were toured as a trio as well as with a fourth example, borrowed from Marshall. Steve Prior, Beck's guitar tech between 1999-2014, told us that the decision at each gig of how many to use on stage would depend on the size of the venue. These three cabs were seen as early as 1999 in a side-by side configuration at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, California, on 17 April. Notable stage performance usage includes Beck’s co-headlining show with Eric Clapton at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on 22 February 2009, as well their follow-up gig at the O2 Arena in London on 13 February 2010. The performance formed part of both artists' solo tours of Japan and comprised a solo set from each before concluding with the two former Yardbirds sharing a stage, a pair of these 1960BX speaker cabinets visible behind Jeff. After 2010 they were rarely taken out on tour, with Beck and his team preferring to use 'loaners' from Marshall in each country they visited.
