In a live performance recorded on April 16, 2006, at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa, Wes Borland is seen using a Fender Jazz Bass during his time with From First To Last. This is documented in a video by The 515 Archive on YouTube.

Wes Borland is confirmed to use the Ampeg SVT-810E 8x10 Bass Cabinet during a live performance while playing bass for From First to Last, as evidenced in a video titled "from first to last- warped '06," uploaded by thefailed on YouTube.

Wrong cab version, it's the Rectifier cab and not Road King.

Wes Borland used the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier 2-channel 100W Solo Head (1992 - 2000), as confirmed by a video on YouTube by ANALOGr titled "Mesa Boogie Rectifier from Wes Borland," which highlights the Wes Borland ArtistFirst collection available at ANALOGr.com.

In this Instagram post, an EVH 2x12 cabinet can clearly be spotted as part of Wes Borland’s live rig.

At around 1:57/1:58 in this video of Limp Bizkit’s appearance at Rock Im Park 2001, a Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier 1x12 combo amplifier can be seen as a part of Wes Borland’s guitar rig. It can easily be distinguished as this amplifier based on its specific Mesa/Boogie logo that appears on other “Rectifier” models from Mesa/Boogie, as well as its size (it is around half the size of the Roland JC-120 amplifiers Wes is famous for using, therefore it is most likely a 1x12 combo rather than a 2x12).

Wes Borland used Duck Tape as a strap holder during the early days of Limp Bizkit, as evidenced by the image provided.

In this YouTube video at 3:19, 8:31, Wes can be seen using a previously black sanded 7 string Ibanez type guitar with green inlays and HSH pickups that used to be green. The bridge is a Lo Pro Edge 7. Judging by overall layout of the knobs, switches, and pickguard holes, I determine that this is an Ibanez UV7. The pickguard was removed and cut, and an extra switch was added between the volume knobs (top hats are missing). An extra piece of a pearl pickguard was added between the pickups.

Wes Borland, guitarist for Limp Bizkit, famously used a modified Ibanez Musician MC150PW, initially a 6-string guitar, later modified to accommodate only four strings. This guitar was notably used on songs like "Nookie", "Full Nelson", and "The One". It was one of his main instruments during the early days of Limp Bizkit, alongside Ibanez Universe 7-string guitars. Here's a more detailed breakdown

The MC150PW

This model was originally a 6-string guitar, but Borland had it modified to have only four strings.

Why four strings?

Borland preferred the sound and feel of a four-string guitar, particularly for the heavier, lower tunings he often used.

Other guitars

While he used the MC150PW for many early Limp Bizkit songs, he also used Ibanez Universe 7-string guitars, especially during the recording of their first two albums.

Beyond Ibanez Later in his career, Borland transitioned to custom-made guitars, including four-string instruments built by Latvian luthier George Gorodnitski, and also started using PRS guitars.

You can see the amp right behind Wes during Limp Bizkit's performance, judging by the fact its got two additional handles on both right and left side and also the size of the amp, I'd say it has to be an AC30, though not sure which model specifically.

In a photo posted by Wes Borland celebrating the new Limp Bizkit album, his pedalboard is visible, featuring a Fulltone OCD pedal near the bottom left.

At 0:25 in the video "Wes Borland's Live Gear Rundown" by STL Tones on YouTube, Wes Borland confirms that he uses the Diezel VH4S Stereo 4-Channel 50-Watt / Side Guitar Amp Head during his live performances.

In this video from Jackson, Wes Borland discusses the origins of his signature model King V from Jackson. The guitar comes with Seymour Duncan Invaders pickups. Wes is seen playing the model on stage.
