Nice Gibson, four knob triple pickup? It's a little hard for me, but it looks like a '73 5-way selector model. very nice. Also, you bass player, is he playing a 5 string fretless?
Either way, nice tone, never been a fan of the way a gibson felt, but always loved the way they sound.
Edit: I don't have any videos of me playing, but here's what I'm learning to play right now, got most of it nailed.

PRS = God
Alex Lifeson, Larry Lalonde, Bobby Ingram, Santana, Joey Belladonna, Phil Campbell, Vernon Reid, etc.
So many good guitar players endorse that company it's scary, almost as scary as the price tag on those masterpeices.
As great as they are, I can never find one with a Floyd Rose, and when you're trying to play stuff by Randy Rhoads, you need to trust your bridge with your life. Especially when you're using a neck thru guitar.

I mostly play a 1981 gold top les paul standard that I got at the local used guitar store for I think $1,500 a few years ago. Great guitar, although I"m thinking a fret job is due sometime soon.
For my birthday years ago I got a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, which is among the most affordable tube combos. If I had the money I would get a Marshall Tube instead, but alas.................
On my pedal board I got an Ibanez Tube Screamer that was modded by Analogman to make it sound like the vintage Tube Screamer that goes for like $300 bucks on ebay.
I also have a Vox vah, a Planet Waves Tuner with big letters so I can see when I don't have my glasses on in dark clubs, and I got a DS-1 Boss for solos which strangely is a great pedal for my set up, despite the fact that every used guitar store has like 50 of these orange pedals because people always get rid of them.
I also use this really strange Boss Pitchshifter that a neighbor gave me like 10 years ago, I think it's the PS-2??? I can get a spinning speaker sound, a chorus sound, a little delay sound and some wild octive/pitch shifting sounds like a violin sound.
I find really getting into gear can get overwhelming with all the options, so I try to keep it relatively simple and work with the tools I have, although with all the recording studio options, I may have to buy more gear just to imitate the plugins I use in the studio for live shows!

The boss pitch shift is the PS-5, really complex pedal and you need an attachment pedal to fully utilize it.
The PS-2 and PS-3 are "phase shifting" pedals.
I've bought and sold so many pedals it's disgusting.

I've owned and played a lot of different guitars, but my favorite, the one I would never trade off is an old beat up Japanese Charvel with a pair of humbuckers and a single-coil in the middle. I've also kept my mid 80's USA made Charvel. It was a lot more expensive, but the Jap model likes me better. I've got a vintage Epiphone LP junior that just gathers dust.
My favorite amp, having owned a Fender Twin, a Vox AC30, and a Crate V50, is a 1959 Bogen Challenger 33 that I scored at a church yard sale for 20 bucks. It was originally a 2 channel PA head, but now it's modded for guitar and harp. I made a Y-cable and plug it into both inputs and crank all the gain 3 12ax7's can push through dual rectifier tubes ( 0 crossover distortion) into a pair of n.o.s 6v6's. It compresses sooooo nice.
My cab is an ancient Peavey 2x12 tank with a pair of Eminence Tonkers. It's a ported cab and nearly as big as a 4x12...weighs like 120 lbs.
A VOX Tonelab takes care of most effects, but I'm still partial to my Russian Big Muff.

I dug through my archives and posted a few indulgent tunes at
John Rouse on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
It's all recorded using an old Fostex cassette-tape 4-track for a preamp and straight into a shitty 16 bit soundcard.
There are a few at the bottom that were intended to eventually evolve into songs with vox, but most if it is sheer wankery...one of my favorite ways to pass time.

Running the risk of being the ONLY bass player to respond to this thread,
we got the string-through-body Washburn;
which I refer to as 'the Bitch'. Its toured across Canada twice, rode hard and put away wet. Great sustain, helluva slap bass.
Then I finally bought a REAL bass,
Ernie Ball Music Man ('the Baby'):
Oh yeah Skunk, and I've playin' the same Peavy Mark IV for years, It has destroyed many cabs. Currently run it with two 12's.

I inherited it from a dead uncle.
The action is a little painful for pussy fingers, but it has awesome volume projection.
