Gwil Sainsbury is photographed playing a Fender Precision bass. The bass is black with a tortuous shell pick guard. Many other pictures on the internet feature Sainsbury playing the same bass, but the attached photo clearly displays the type of bass.

Used live as a guitar and bass cabinet mic, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds in this December 16, 2013 sE Electronics blog post.

The sE X1 has had quite a workout, according to Reynolds. "I've used the sE X1 as an overhead, I've used it as an audience mic and I've tried it on guitar and bass cabinets. It seems to be all-purpose, and seems to work on just about anything you put it on." Lately, he says, he has been using the sE X1 as an audience mic for the in-ear monitor mix: "Often times, a little pencil mic is too focused. The sE X1's give it the bigger picture."

Used live as a guitar cabinet mic, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds on his official sE Electronics artist page.

"Initially, I went to sE looking for a good large diaphragm condenser that wouldn't break the bank. Before I knew it, they sent out a dozen mics to for me to try...including a pair of VR1 ribbon mics. Perfect for a guitar cabinet, offering loads of low end and more highs than you would ever expect from a ribbon. I was surprised at how much more sound it captured than my usual guitar mics...and how realistic the guitar amp sounded."
