Pete Trewavas' Gear
Live, the easiest one to play is the Ibanez, actually. It’s a Sound Gear bass, a signature model I guess. They’ve superceded the one I’ve got. I was very kindly given it by the main dealer for Ibanez in the UK about four, five, maybe six years ago? Could be ten actually. I mean my life is just…(laughs) Marillion time is different from normal time so… probably within the last ten years. And when I started playing them, I found them to be very easy to play. And they’re very precise as well. They’re actually really, really good at the top of the neck.

New strings on my beautiful Warwick bass. I did have to change them myself, but still playing in Marillion.

Often Mistaken for an higher end Soundgear. But when you watch closely in the video: Knobs are different and a Butterfly made from perloid in the headstock.

Right, well for recording we put the bass through two Neeve 1073 mic preamps and had various sounds going through them. We mic’d the amp as well.

I use a delay – the [TC Electronic] D-2. It’s fantastic ‘cause it’s like a low budget version of the… whatever… Yeah, the 2290, which is a beast of a thing to cart about.

I used to have a Lexicon loop thing that used to be able to tap with a peddle as well, which is quite handy, but they can cause terrible chaos if you can’t just tap in [your pattern that day]. You’d be surprised how often you can get it really wrong.

Pete Trewavas, the bassist, confirmed his use of the Moog Taurus I pedals in a 1985 interview featured in "Marillion airs" (One Two Testing, Sep 1985), where he recounted an incident during a performance of 'Fugazi'. He described a moment of confusion when he realized the pedals were not working, only to find they had been left unplugged, stating: "My bass pedals weren't working — I use the Moog Taurus One set. It wasn't actually a failure, but somebody, not our crew, had left them unplugged." This anecdote directly verifies Trewavas's use of the Moog Taurus I.
