Paul McGuigan

"Noel told me to buy that Gibson bass originally, after he'd seen it in the shop," comments Oasis basser Paul 'Guigs' McGuigan. "I think it was £450 the shop wanted; I got it for £350. I think it's top. We've used it in the studio a few times and I've tried to use it on rehersals, but it just doesn't suit, it's too boomy. It's good, though, I like it like that but it drowns other things out. I think Gibsons are a bit over the top with bass sound that way."

In the image, Paul McGuigan is clearly seen playing a Fender Jazz Bass while standing behind Bonehead.

Paul McGuigan of Oasis is featured in a May 1996 advertisement for Fender, highlighting his use of the Fender Precision Bass.

At 1:14 until 1:16 in this video, you can very briefly see Paul McGuigan playing his Fender Telecaster Bass.

You can see Guigsy playing the Hiwatt DR-201 with the rare Hiwatt SE320 4x12 inch speaker cabinet in this official music video for the song Whatever. You will notice him playing this rig on plenty other occassions such as live TV appearances at Later With Jools Holland and more.

Guigsy is playing the first revision of the Fender Precision Bass on plenty occasions either Live and in official Oasis music videos. It is probably a 50s to 52 model.

Paul McGuigan uses the Electro-Voice RE20, as detailed by David J. Huggins on the Oasis Recording Information site in the section "Equipment used in the Morning Glory sessions."

Paul McGuigan used Rotosound RS66LD Swing Bass 45-105 strings during the 1990s with Oasis, as confirmed by the Rotosound website, which specifically mentions their use in the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"
