Great band ) bass player used a Magnum 2 amongst other models Saw them in Manchester about 10 years ago. Their bassist (Barry Adamson) played a Magnum 2 and a Fender Jaguar. Great gig and great tone. I think the whole gig is on YouTube and Spotify. Worth a watch. They still sounded great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineweasel Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Wobble started playing his Magnum in the late 80s, long after PIL. All the PIL stuff was done with a Precision, although he’s playing an Ampeg bass that video, I’m pretty sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just new he started using one at some point in the distant past and guessed at PiL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackbass Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I used one on a song on an album once. It was hanging on a wall in a studio in eagle rock and looked and sounded like it hadn't been played in years. Worked perfectly for this sting-esque verse on a song! We also used it with an ebow which sounded glorious through a Neve console tho I don't know if that actually got used for anything. Had no idea there were so many variations of the bass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
