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!

Interview with Colin Greenwood by Jon D'Auria on March 29, 2019 for Bass Magazine Colin Greenwood explained how he got started with the bass. "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."

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."

The Lovetone Big Cheese pedal is seen here in this picture.

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

"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."

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

He uses programmable version of Sansamp Bass Driver DI.

"As of In Rainbows, the bass is usually fitted with Stadium Elites 45,65,85,105 strings for touring, though other combinations are sometimes used in studio"

Behind Colin, in this photo, a VS-1880 can be seen.
