1996 Mexican Fender Precision
The workhorse of the basses I own, this one came from Fender at cost price. I gig this one because I don't want to damage the vintage one.

1959 USA Fender Precision
I bought this out of Loot during the making of Thunder and Consolation. The guy who owned it had no idea what it was worth. It's been partly restored, but plays better than any other bass ever. I also have a custom built fretless, and I've just bought a five-string.

Fender F-35 acoustic
A lovely bit of wood. I fitted a pair of Shadow pick-ups to it, one in the sound hole and another under the bridge. There's a pick-up selector from a Gibson Les Paul which allows a better blend of sounds from the two pick-ups.

1988 Japanese Fender Stratocaster
My first ever electric was a 1980 Telecaster. Some french (deliberate lower case) bastard stole it out of the tour bus in Paris in 1985. The Strat was bought to replace it and has a Kahler locking whammy block. I recently rebuilt it, stucking a humbucker and a hot rail on it, both by Seymour Duncan, to beef it up a bit.

2002 Fender Standard Telecaster
The current Fender Standard Series are good guitars, and I missed owning a Tele, so I bought this as a contrast to the Strat.

Fender Telecoustic
The electro-acoustic version of the Telecaster. It has a Tele neck with the normal wooden acoustic soundboard 'crafted' onto a slightly round backed fibre-glass body. It's not great as a plain acoustic, but plugged in, its bloody marvellous.

I use a mix of valve and solid state practice amps; a Fender Champ 12 for Twin-style sounds, and a pair of Hiwatts, the Spitfire and the Maxwatt 30, both of which kick out lots of Hiwatt noise in minature.

There's also a Hammond T-202 Organ with a built in Leslie Cabinet kicking around the place.
