Looking for info, I found an interview with him on the Wham days. He hasn't talked gear so far, but I can see that he likes Status Graphite these days...


He just casually mentioned that he did Elton John's [i]Nikita[/i] - top flight fretless work on that one.

edit: he talks gear at about 10 minutes in, showing off the LEDs... first time I've seen a Status with a pickup cover. 8)

He used to use an early '60's Jazz bass (he had a collection of them) and a Trace rig on the Wham stuff. Always sounded great!

I've heard it mentioned that David Paton (he of `Pilot' fame - remember `January'?) played bass on Nikita, or was it John Giblin?!!! Hmmm.
