Nicky Wire's Bass
Nicky Wire's bass. Does anyone know the make? Corner of a screen he's there with his gold coloured bass. Does look like a Fender Jazz. But the fact he plays the same bass throughout his set means a)it stays in tune the whole time! So that leads to b) no way that's an American make!
Did anyone there manage to get close enough pictures of his bass? I'm thinking it might be a European make that took the shape and made it functional. Or could be another thread of mine that dies. |

Ah! Didn't know about two basses. It was always the gold bass in stuff I saw.
Those pictures are quite valuable in my research! Thanks for posting usagainstyou! EDIT: no thanks to autocorrect spacing your username out |

Oh, and I also have this photo, where the blue looks more... erm... international :
(the same guitar, different light).

Headstocks look untampered with but then not seeing the back. And to widen the net, anyone identified what guitar James is using? His faithful White Les is in one video. But there's this awesome Gibson shaped but not Gibson that's appeared in a few songs recorded live. |

They are fender aerodyne bases, made in Japan. I’ve got the same red and blue one he has, the blue is lovely to play.
The aerodyne model is available internationally but only officially in Black, to get the funky colours you have to buy the Japanese ones which were meant for the Japanese market
