Nick O'Malley

Nick O'Malley used the Rickenbacker 3000 for some songs of AC and in the "Teddy Picker" music videos.

Nick O'Malley uses the Fender P-Bass for almost all concerts which he performs, including this one at 2:04.

This is his main bass for live shows since the beginning of the AM-Tour as can be seen he uses it on stage.

At 00:24, you can see (behind Alex Turner) O'Malley using the hollow body bass, as well as 00:53-55 and throughout the video of their BBC session. He only uses it for "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?". It provides the signature bass part to the song.

O'Malley can be seen playing a Gretsch Broadkaster Bass at 1:50 in this performance of "Cornerstone" by Arctic Monkeys.

This photo, from this Sound on Sound article, shows Nick playing a Yamaha SA-70.
