RIF Tour Gear

Since Manic Musicians has been forever lost, I think we should have a thread about any new gear that the band are using for the tour.

I'm especially interested in Wire's new blue Fender bass and James' Stratocaster used in Newcastle for 4ever Delayed. Any ideas what models they are???

Was just about to post the same.

Nicky's blue bass with blue headstock appears to be similar to his red bass with red headstock - that model was a Fender Precision with an extra Jazz pickup, but the new one looks like a Fender Jazz with an extra precision pickup.

Never been able to find a stock model that matches the red one, so I suspect that the blue may be the same and they're both custom orders?

Been getting back into bass recently and realised that my favourite Wire bass sound was back in the KYE period when he had a much twangier sound - coming from a Fender Jazz (3 pickup Longhorn model - another one that doesn't seem to exist)

Also JDB seems to be using some black Guild electric for some stuff now - one of his recording models apparently, but it made an appearance for the Absolute Radio session.

Sounding the same as every guitar he's ever played ever, of course.

p.s. massive shout out to whoever deleted the whole Musicians forum, top lads.

Apologies if this has been raised before, does anyone know what gear Nicky used for the Liverpool Revisted solo? & For that matter what James used for it last night?

Did James not record the solo on the album? I thought I heard on one radio thing that although Wire wrote all the music, James rerecorded all guitar parts?

What happened to the Manics Musicians forum?

I noticed it was heavily pruned towards the end, and then one day it disappeared completely ffs.

Nicky's red and blue basses are Fender Aerodyne models

He mentions his '62 strat in this interview for Postcards.
https://www.musicradar.com/guitarist...ds-gear-280353

But I imagine he owns a few strats! Looks like he is using his EHX Pitchfork for the verses on Forever delayed but I've only watched on video on my phone.

The band should auction/raffle off studio tour by James. Not to be morbid, I wonder what James's will is like, would he want done with his guitar collection...
