Richard Hell's Gear
Hell can be seen in this photo with a Fender Mustang Bass.
He used it at CBGB's in the movie Blank Generation. Seems to have been his main bass during the time of the first record.
Richard Hell uses a Danelectro DC Cooper Bass, as shown in a user-uploaded photo on Twimg.
Hell’s ownership of a Throb was stated on the unit’s sale page on The Violet Burning's official website, having come into the possession of Michael Pritzl.
A gorgeous and unique sounding tremolo pedal, rare and hard to find, this one was originally owned by Richard Hell of Voidoids, Television and Matthew Sweet fame before it came into Michael's possession when he bought it from some NYC friends.
This beloved pedal has been used live and on albums from the violet burning for the past 20 years.
On the cover of a live album of Hell-era Heartbreakers ‘What Goes Around’ recorded on July 7, 1975 and November 16, 1975 that was issued after the death of co-frontman Johnny Thunders in 1991, you can clearly see Hell playing a Gibson EB-1 bass, and evidence suggesting that it is a copy can be debunked by the clarity of the headstock on the album cover on Discogs
He used this bass in the early days of Television and The Heartbreakers.
In the provided image, Richard Hell is seen using a Peavey 400 Bass Head.
