Seen at 0:37, Amos says he uses it as both compressor and valve preamp to get the tube warmth to his sound. At the moment he stopped using the Black Finger to use the Darkglass B7K
In this video, Williams is clearly seen playing a Warwick Thumb. Williams stopped using the trusty thumb bass after he was offered a signature bass by Kiesel. Amos now solely plays Kiesel Basses.

Clearest picture of the SVT-4PRO is at 2:27 in the video. Amos is using that along with an Ampeg SVT cabinet. This is an older video, so of course, his rig has since updated.
