Mike Kerr

During Royal Blood's 2017 Tour, Mike changed from his gretsch electromatic basses and fender starcaster basses to new customised jaguar basses, witch include a starcaster wide range humbucker. This jaguar has four versions so far: one with a black sparkle finish and a pearloid pickguard, one with a red finish and black pickguard, one with a white finish and a gold pickguard and one with a fiesta red finish, a black pickguard and a mini humbucker (Similar to the ones in his gretsch basses) near to the bridge. One of the versions of this bass can be seen in the music video for "I Only Lie When I Love You".

In this live performance image, Mike is seen playing a black Fender Starcaster Bass, he also owns a white Starcaster Bass, which he uses in the music video for Ten Tonne Skeleton. He started using Starcaster basses around 2013, during Royal Blood's time in the studio, according to 2020 Guitar World interview.

"I've recently started using a Fender Starcaster, a new bass that's come out. It's a hollow-body, short-scale bass with humbuckers that sound huge. I'm a big fan of that one, so I'm going to start using it a lot more. I'm sure the collection is going to increase and increase as time goes on." - via MusicRadar

In the video titled "In Conversation with Mike Kerr | Artist Signature Series" by Fender, bassist and singer Mike Kerr is showcased utilizing the Fender Limited Edition Mike Kerr Signature Jaguar Bass. This video provides insights into the design and features of the bass directly from Mike Kerr, against the backdrop of his and Royal Blood's musical journey. The video is an official release from Fender, cementing the association between Mike Kerr and this specific model of Jaguar Bass.

In this Instagram video you can see a Squier VI Bass sat in the guitar rack in the background. This was most likely the bass used to record 'Space' as Mike Kerr described in an interview that the guitar used for the song was a bass that had six strings, and played like a guitar. This version of the Squier VI was also released a year prior to the release of 'Typhoons', which coincides with the time they wrote and recorded the album.

Mike Kerr is confirmed to use a Rock N Roll Relics Thunders Bass, as evidenced by a promotional video for a new Royal Blood song posted on Instagram by @royalblooduk.
