Each era is animated using exact musical equipment as used by the Fab’s ie. Rickenbacker/ Gretsch guitars, Paul Mc Cartney’s Hofner violin bass and Ringo’s Ludwing super classic drum kit. The amplification used is in keeping with the authentic theme and each costume outfit is a complete replica of the originals.
