the best bass player ever...his sound is unique and incredible

This is nice.

Yes, it is indeed a Schechter. For some reason, many people think that Simon Gallup plays an Eccleshall, but I have no idea why. As far as 335-style basses go, he's used:
1) a short scale Gibson EB-2 with an extra pickup, probably EMG (see Just Like Heaven video and Play Out video)
2) a pair of long scale basses custom made by Dick Knight, one black, one white (see Show and Trilogy concerts)
3) a gold-top Epiphone Jack Casady (also in Trilogy)
4) this non-production Schechter

It was really better when he was playing with the musicman stingray.

what a wimpy boring drum performance
-
I don't know if this was ever pointed out, but the bass in the video is actually a custom Schecter. They only built two of these...Blasko, of all people, has the other.

These actually sounds pretty good without keyboards. They should do another album like Pornography. Anything else sounds stupid without keyboards. I don't ever want to hear Porl play the keyboard parts on his guitar again. That's just a waste of his talent.

Nice!!! Just like the old days!!! A three piece. Sounds great!!! Nice and raw!!!

@shakedydogshake- Exactly! I second that.

Hi!
Yes i have contact with Mr. Eccleshall. A brand new order for exactly that piece is 3.500 BPounds (about 4.000 Euro). He's building the bass in a few months if you order one.
Greetings!

Yes, you're absolutely right. I wish they could go back to the roots of the "cure" sound....
