Craig's rig

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

He had several basses

The one with the white pickups was a Westbury Track 2

The Ibanez was a Blazer ( which looks similar to the last Roadsters, so i don't blame him ), then there was also a Rick ( but it might be a Hondo copy cuz he said he owned one ) and a Squier Jazz

But i'm still looking for the fuzzbox

So, from what i've gathered so far :

Westbury Track 2 - Antique Walnut, first bass used in the bass ( as far as i could find ).

Rickenbacker 4001 - Jetglo, rented, used to record F&L&A and used live aswell.

Ibanez BL-700 ( PRESUMABLY ) - Natural Finish, used live in 84, footage is too blury to be a 100% sure, not his main Ibby.

Ibanez BL-800 - "Traditional Violon", used on the Wake VHS -> smashed -> brass plate -> lost.

Squier Jazz Bass - Black with Tortoise pickguard. used alongside the Ibanez, can be seen in photoshoots.
