ID this bass please, Numan WTMTB

[iconic]

is he playing a stingray with a rear pup..I really don't know? Whatever it just don't sound right....great playing though and effortless, whom ever is?

[tombboy]

Definately NOT a Stingray and I don't recognise the shape. Maybe a Wal? I don't know..... it does have a Kahler whammy fitted though!

[jamesbass116]

Looks like a fretless Wal bass?

[voxpop]

This one of my favourite songs.............great playing...bring back the 80's.

[tombboy]

Is that Pino with a blond mullet? I know he played on the album I Asassin, which is where this song is from but did he tour with Gary?

Edit: quick look at 0:13.... thats definately Pino!

Hazard a guess a Wal Pro Fretless, that's been customed or modded.

Great hair.

Definitely a Wal

It's not Pino... That's actually a good mate of mine called Andy Coughlan playing a Wal Fretless Pro 1.. He also has a couple of other very nice Wals in his kit bag as well, including one he calls 'Old Bluey' because it's a special one off light-blue colour.

A fantastic player, these days Andy does a lot of double-bass work, but he still does a lot of gigs with his Wals, including Cerys Matthews amongst others.

didn't Pino play on the album that song's from though?

Surely Numan would make sure the Welsh master of the low end could get on his live tour if he featured on the album they're touring

just a thought!

Andy did some of the records as well, and was with Numan for some years.

As for Pino, I've no idea..but that's definitely Andy & his Wal Pro 1. Besides, Pino didn't use Wals as far as I can remember..

[tombboy]

Pino was credited on the I Asassin album and also toured the US in 1992 promoting it.
Looking closer, it's not Pino though he looks similar.

What he said, Andy Coughlan with a modified Wal Pro with tremelo. I believe Pino did record the album track and this video looks like footage from Numan's White Noise live album (or around that time).

+1

Andy doesn't quite have the same bouyant hairstyle these days, but his bass playing is fabulous!

[Tengu]

This is from the Berserker tour in '84.

I always liked Andy's playing and he seems like a top bloke.

He always looked a bit embarrassed when it came to the solo at the end of this song. Typical bassist, I suppose, not really comfortable in the, literal, spotlight.

Like Tengu said, it's Andy Coughlan from Numan's Berserker Tour. Hammersmith Odeon, December 1984 (I was in the audience) He's playing a Wal
