Colin Greenwood

Here, Colin Greenwood can be seen using a Fender Precision Bass for the Radiohead song, "Myxomatosis".

"Music Man Sterling No1 (Traded): Colin’s main bass in the early 90’s, used on Pablo Honey and The Bends. He traded it in May 1996 for Vintage White Precision Bass."

In this photo, Colin can be seen playing a Jazz bass.

In this user-uploaded Tumblr photo, Colin Greenwood is shown with the Lovetone Big Cheese fuzz effects pedal.

"Obtained around 1995 for $60 in a pawn shop in LA, and soon after used infamously on Exit Music(for a film). This pedal has been a staple of his setup since then. Also used on Myxomatosis live."

" Colin had Aria bass but most tracks done on Fender Mustang 1972 and Ampeg SVT..."

Down in the bottom right, a Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI can be seen.

In this photo, Colin can be seen using two Ampeg SVT-CL Classic Bass Heads.

"Used from the early days until circa 2003. He kept the head in a rack with the rest of his units. Run into an Ampeg SVT 8x10 Cab, almost certainly the same one which he went on to use with his Ampeg SVT heads."

Interview with Colin Greenwood by Jon D'Auria on March 29, 2019 for Bass Magazine "When I realized the guitar spots had been taken in our band, my mum got me a black Westone DX Spectrum. I loved that bass. It was very black. I think it ended up for a while being the door prop to the old management office. I had an old Toshiba radio cassette player, and I would listen to Joy Division, Otis Redding, Cocteau Twins, Booker T., James Brown, and anything my older sister passed on: Magazine, The Fall, Joe Jackson’s Jumpin’ Jive, and I’d play along with everything. But for bassists, it was Dunn, James Brown’s players, Peter Hook, and lots of Lee “Scratch” Perry."

This photo shows Colin with his Christopher Dean Classical Guitar.

Had a really nice AM visit with Colin Greenwood from Radiohead. He picked up his new USA Series 44-64 Custom and is pretty stoked. Looking forward to seeing them play Friday!

He uses programmable version of Sansamp Bass Driver DI.

In this image taken from a live Radiohead performance, we can see Colin's 909 on a dual stand behind him, below his VS1880.

Used by Colin since at least 2006, replacing his Korg rack tuner.
