Colin
started using Fender Precision basses around '95. During the OK Computer period a sunburst model, probably from '72 and with rosewood neck became his favourite bass. Starting from late '98 he switched to the left pictured '77 model which is still his favourite whislt the other is now used as a back-up. Colin now uses Dunlop Tortex .88 mm picks and, according to interviews from the OKC period, he used Elite Stadium Series strings: "They're great for playing clubs" he said. |
