Tim Renwick's Gear
Amp wise I use my Rivera M-60, which was previously owned by Tim Renwick of Pink Floyd. Just for the amp spotters both amps are loaded with Harma Diamond EL34s from Watford Valves.
I use a very simple set-up based around a reissue Fender Bassman (4 tens) and a few basic Boss stomp pedals.
Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar
Solid Body Electric Guitars“You’re mostly associated with the Stratocaster. The guitar you’re using now appears to be a 60’s model with a humbucker bridge pickup. Can you tell us a little more about it?” – “Yes. I bought it new, from Chandlers shop in Kew, in London about twelve years ago. It is sea-foam green having American electronics (Seymour Duncan Alnico Two pick-ups – single coil except for bridge position which is a dual tapped humbucker) and Japanese wooden parts. It has a pearlised scratchplate and was assembled by my friend Brinsley Schwartz for Chandler Guitars. It actually looks turquoise to me, but I’m a bit colour-blind!”
