Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this, if not please do let me know!
I'm looking at trying to gather info on what Gary 'Mani' Mounfield uses as part of his live rig. I've wondered it for a while but there's no solid info. Back in the 80's he used a painfully rare ricky 4005 which I have come to accept I will never own haha. I don't know what amps he used as they just seem to be unbranded black 8/10 cabs and a matching unbranded head. Nowadays I know he uses the Jack Casady Bass guitar since he has at least 4 of them all painted differently and he has two Mesa stacks,weirdly enough though I saw a pre show video once of the gear being set up and the techs actually just put mesa badges or stickers onto the cabinets. Is this normal? Does it mean he actually uses Mesa stuff or no? I just wanted some input as to what people think he uses, anything is useful to me no matter how small or big. All I know is he has/had/used:
Rickenbacker 4005 Mapleglo (Later painted Jackson Pollock style)
Vintage burst Precision bass
Gibson EB 3
Rickenbacker 3000-was thrown on the stage floor violently, probably broken)
Several Epiphone Jack Casady sig. models

Thanks all
