Gordon Moakes' Gear
In this picture you can see Gordon playing a Fender Precision bass on stage at a Bloc Party concert
"Well, we have our favorites, which, for me, is the P Bass®. It’s actually a Mexican P Bass that I play. Kele and Russell play different types of Telecasters. I can’t say exactly what exact models. I know Russell just bought one in Japan. They’re all new; they’re not vintage, and are pretty good stock." - interview with Fender done in 2006.
Used as a main grit/overdrive pedal with Bloc Party and Young Legionaire
“Okay, first things first. I need to plug in the Nio 24 and get it up and running. This is as simple as connecting it to your laptop’s USB slot. I’m using it with Ableton Live, also in the spirit of ease and speed. As a band, we use ProTools and Logic in the studio, and they’re both great tools, but I’ve been using Live at home after giving it a trial run and realising that I could be recording and arranging parts pretty much instantly, without having to spend two weeks reading the manual first. It seems set up so that you learn as you go. It took me less than half an hour to program in a beat, loop it, and arm a track ready for a guitar part. Simple!”
