"I’ve replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, which I use on most of my live guitars. "
"I was mixing it up between Teles and Jazzmasters. I got it from where Tommy [Gleeson Feeder touring guitarist and former Slaves To Gravity frontman] used to work, Vintage And Rare. "
From the article: "When I bought that guitar I was with Taka, we used to go to this guitar shop in Richmond quite a lot, and this guitar was just there for sale. And at the time no-one was really playing Explorers unless they were in a metal band, but I quite liked that, and it was a cherry one as well, so it didn’t look quite as metal. It originally belonged to Mick Ralphs from Bad Company apparently. Well it had his name on the case, and that’s what they told me! I haven’t touched anything with it – the pickups are Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbuckers in there – they’re my favourite humbuckers actually. It’s been used since the Polythene period really – it’s been used on practically every Feeder song since. It just plug it straight into a Marshall and track it, it just does that one thing – it just rocks."
