I'm pretty certain those are beta 2x12 combos and a beta bass stack.
Think so?

I can't tell, can't make out any detail as far as logos or controls on my monitor. I don't see any casters though.

At 1:00 in, I'd say almost definitely that that is a Beta on the bass rig.

Well Mel, I think it means you need to move South if you want to watch 30 year old Clash videos. 

At 1:00 in, I'd say almost definitely that that is a Beta on the bass rig.

On closer inspection, I'd say that's correct. I wonder what the track was recorded with? Paul Simonon was using Ampegs the times I saw him, but... I don't think he played bass on that track.
I'm gonna guess it's a P Bass direct to board running a little hot on the front end.

...same problem with youtube.....
I think Paul used Ampeg + (at least two...see attach) Fender P`s at leased since 1982 - Combat Rock. hard to tell about the Sound ...a DI? DI+Amp???
Paul is with the good, the bad and the queen last time I saw him, great tunes aswell! When you like The Clash You`ll love KILLING JOKE, they used SUNN`s in the early 80`s aswell.

As I recall, drummer Topper Headon, who was a bit of a talented multi-instrumentalist, wrote/performed all of the music track, and then Strummer put the lyrics/vocals on top along with Strummer and Jones' guitars.
