Late addition

because I only just remembered it.

Gary’s Fender Fat Strat. Bought in 1997. Used on “I am very afraid” from “Won’t Reach the Fifth in 2000.

This guitar was used extensively live and was generally used and abused. If anyone attended a Kittens show which culminated with a gear smash up it was probably this guitar. It was very easy to put back together!

Gary’s very first amp was a Pianomate 5 or 10 watt creature which when cranked to the mix gave out a phenomenal overdriven growl. Apparently, these amps are supposed to be used with keyboards but work very well with guitars.

Another new edition. A handmade Fender Strat replica. This is a very cool looking guitar that I got from a custom guitar maker in Blackwood

A beautiful bass guitar from Thomann in Germany

This is a very stylish instrument and will be used mainly for recording

New Boss Katana 100 Watt combo bought last summer mainly because the Marshall is so damn heavy
