Thanks for posting this, I'm a big fan of Chris's playing going back to the days when I didn't know who he was, or indeed that it was Chris playing the bass parts I was so enamoured of. We take it for granted in the internet age that you can find out who played what for whom, but it wasn't always that way. I remember seeing Chris on TV playing his Status five string live with Go West back when five strings were still a novelty, and I always loved the bass on this track : I had assumed it was Pino, especially as the band were from Cardiff, but it was in fact Chris Childs. Only took me about thirty years to find out by accident!

Chris Childs Interview from SE Bass Bash November 2025 - We were there...
Owen replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
Ooh ooh ooh. I have a Chris Childs story! As he moved up the ladder, he left a vacant spot with a Cardiff based Theatre Company which were pushing forward the boundries of theatre as we then knew it. They were called Brith Gof. With substantial Arts Council funding. I have no idea how my name came up. I lived 5 hours away at the other end of Wales. Anyway, they were writing their next production (8 way sound system on 40 foot scaff towers in one of the Harland and Wolf shipyard buildings). One player on each tower and a joystick to pan us to anywhere while the audience were pounded by waves of sound. They were also dodging earth and chalk dust. While the performers flew in on harnesses. I was sent a cassette of what Chris had put down. It was a fretless concerto. I immediately knew that I was WAY out of my depth and my time with them would last the 10 minutes it took for the MD to realise I was not Chris and never would be Chris. Astonishingly I was kept on. If you ever read this Chris, cheers! I had a lot of fun. -

The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm

Just managed to get in the workshop for a couple of hours . Fingerboard side markers installed . Fingerboard dressed with home made radius sanding block made from a section of 110mm underground drainage so 55mm radius . Fingerboard waxed with black bison wax . Just got to give metalwork a quick polish and wax and we are done. Just got to learn how to play it a bit better and I will put up some sound clips . I'm quite pleased with the understated side dots down to fret 24 . Almost invisible unless you are looking for them . They are for my benefit only .

If you want a transformer based DI box, save yourself a bunch and buy a Canford Audio one 2nd hand. Then spend the rest on another bass

it sounds like it might sound really nice, wonder how spendy it will be if it's supplanting his previous super fancy di capo thing

Yes - that's the one I generally use too 👍
