Colin Moulding's Bass Guitars

Moulding can be seen in this photo playing an Epiphone Newport Bass.
Colin Moulding used three basses on Oranges and Lemons, predominantly a Wal. Back-up basses were a Fender Precision and, for the double-bass sound on "Pink Thing", an Epiphone Newport. "It goes 'poun'," Partridge describes helpfully. Moulding's album rehearsal amp was a Trace Elliot -- "so clear it was unbelievable" -- and he holds his group together with Rotosound strings. Instead of a pick he prefers a fingernail (home-grown). He writes with the help of an Ovation acoustic guitar.
Moulding can be seen in this photo playing a black Fender Mustang.
