I was wondering what make and model of Bass Guitar Kevin has used? I've never seen any photos! Except for him on guitar! What guitar/s did Mike play with him? I assume a Telecaster because I think it was Mike's first good guitar - unless he borrowed Kevin's!

I have a feeling I might have seen Kevin with a 50s slab bodied Fender Precision.
Mike played a Fender Jazz Bass on The Old Grey Whistle Test - that might have belonged to the band, considering that Mike never used it later (I hear he used Phil Newell's Precision for Tubular Bells, I don't know what he might have used for the demos in his flat).

I think you're right that it was probably the telecaster which Mike played with the band - it certainly sounds like it could be.

Thanks. Any idea what Kevin's daughter does? I see that she's touring with Kevin, and I hope to see them in a few weeks time!
