Richard: "I use a Fender Precision through a Trace Elliot AH250. I chose the Fender because they're cheap and they don't break very easily. In the studio I use an Aria SB1000 because it's got lots of sustain and, through the Trace Elliot, it gets a Fender sound. As a spare I use a Guild which is being repaired at the moment because the neck broke about half an hour before we were due to go on Whistle Test. It's purple; the only purple Guild in the country... and Whirlwind leads. That's important."
