A photo of Oborn's rig is show in this interview in which you can see the Laney head
Bass : First Act Limited Edition Delgada; GHS Bass Boomers (.050-.115), Dunlop Tortex Picks (1.14mm)
Rig : 80s Ampeg SVT VL head and 8x10 cab; 70s Laney Klipp head and Marshall 4x12 cab
Effects : MXR M80 Bass DI, Fulltone Bass-Drive MOSFET, Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff, Whirlwind A/B Box, Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
"I run the DI, with distortion as my primary tone, into the SVT. I've also been using Matt's Metal Muff to get a crazy, overdriven sound. We like the heaviness of tuning down two steps to CFBbEb."

I honestly couldn’t tell you what amps we used, because the pile of heads (and I literally mean a pile) went from the table they were all on to the ceiling of the dingy studio room we were in. We used the ceiling itself to lodge in the heads on top of the table. It was a joke. There were a bunch of Marshalls – JCM800 and a JMP for sure – a Diezel VH4 which we’d borrowed, an old Laney Klipp that me and Larry Hibbitt [producer] had previously set on fire. There was a bunch.
