2203/2204s I think, but a nmv works just as fine. ;)

Go over to solodallas for more info. They used a lot of different stuff, Leads, Superleads, Malcolm used a Superbass, in addition to the 2203s. Seems like they generally favored non master volume amps, but they definitely used 2203s from time to time through that era.
