Main live bass while touring over the last 9 years with Peter Hook & The Light. This is the same bass which was immortalised in New Order's music video for The Perfect Kiss.

6 string bass used on tour with Peter Hook & The Light. Many of Peter Hook's signature riffs & a large part of his tone came from these guitars - these very same models are used when recreating them at live shows.

Main live bass used with both Peter Hook & The Light and The Smashing Pumpkins on their 2018 tours. The bass is used in active mode when playing with Peter Hook, as this guitar is then equally adept at providing the necessary low end to play Joy Division songs, plus the high end for those latter day New Order tracks. With The Smashing Pumpkins, the bass is used in passive mode to provide a warm, well rounded & consistent bass sound.

Main amps used on tour with both The Smashing Pumpkins and Peter Hook & The Light are Ampeg SVT-VR heads with Ampeg 8x10 cabinets.

Custom Jim Dunlop 1mm Tortex picks featuring Manchester United club crest & City of Manchester worker bee.

Divine Noise 25ft & 50ft hand crafted cables used on tour with both The Smashing Pumpkins and Peter Hook & The Light.
