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."

Used live, as featured on the official product page.

"We felt that by adding the sE filter to our bass mic setup, it would clear up some of the drum bleed - which it did very nicely. This is a useful product, simply and elegantly executed. Thanks sE."

• Michael Prowda, Monitor Engineer (Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails)
