In the video for 'Beat Surrender', we can immediately see Bruce dancing around playing an Aria Pro II SB bass.
Bruce can be seen on stages using is Ashdown BTA-400 all valve head, together with an ABM 410H and custom shop 215 speaker cabinets. Bruce’s rig may well be big, loud and impressive, but It was actually Ashdown’s more affordable amps that Bruce fell in love with when he discovered the Ashdown EV-C112-180 (180 watt 1x12”) combo in his local music store, Andertons Music in Guilford. - See more at: http://ashdownmusic.com/news/160/Bruce-Foxton-New-Album-and-Tour/#sthash.6nrmEjQz.dpuf
