Bob looks pretty clean cut so maybe this recently released interview / session was taped a while ago?

I was researching Bob's gear to see how he gets his metallic sound and was on a guitar forum where someone said he mostly plays the three high strings high up and Kimock responded "I'm familiar with Weir's approach and would say it's more like the inside four."

That video was from an episode of Rock and Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar that aired on January 31, 2016. Hagar had a segment with Mickey in this same episode.

thanks Mike for that info. I kinda suspected that.

Speaking of Bobby's tone, I also came across a 2024 article that said his amp settings were:

Volume – 7

Gain – 4

Treble – 9

Middle – 3

Bass – 8

Presence – 7

I have no idea if the author is accurate.
