Treys Bass Amp

I have recently notice that as early as 1997 0r 1998 that Trey has been using a Galien Krueger amp near his rack. What is the use for this amp.

Trey likes to have a feed from Mike or whatever bassist he is playing with. Brian emailed me what cab it was. Let me find it and I will post here...

UPDATE:
Her is what Brian said about the bass cab:

Trey prefers having his own bass extension amp (a feed off the bass
rig) to make the bass guitar sound more natural to him in his area
(otherwise it would go through the monitor system which does not sound
so good). Currently he's using an Ampeg bass amp (it was a GK bass amp
for years).

Gotta have the bass right next to me too. Actually, sometimes I run the keys to me as well, though lower in the mix - just enough to hear them in my right ear but not overpowering. One of the problems we've sort of been having is that our practice space set-up is different than our on-stage set-up, due to the room design and the allotted space.

Our room set up is kind of like this:

Which doesn't really work for a typical stage, per se, but I'm tempted to just say \"fuck it\", and set up like this on stage, with the drummer & bassist facing the stage, the guitarists facing each other, and maybe move the keyboardist over next to the rhythm guitarist, so his back isn't to the crowd. What the hell. Screw conventionalism. I seem to hear the band better that way, so the point would be to improve the overall ability for the band to properly communicate.

Ok, a little off topic, sorry! :oops:

PS - Welcome to the forum, Brian! Hope to see you around here more often.

This blows my mind how incredible every peice of equipment is described from his guitar to his pedals in such amazing detail. I have always wondered what the loops for his CAE RS-10 were, and which pedals and gear were used in those loops and there they are. In some of his vids on various websites you can see the his rack all lit up. I love how when he turns on or off a loop a red light on his CAE 4x4 turns on and off signifying the loop change.
