Not in the early days. Only in later years, when he adopted the diabolical “skeletons copulating in a tin trunk” eq settings he now seems to favour, did it become necessary for someone/thing else in the band to actually provide some bottom end.
For quite some time my GAS list has only had two items on it, both of which are totally unattainable for me at the moment anyway. I don’t see that changing unless I manage to find a ‘65 Jazz or Wal 5-string for £150.
