RIP Mani

[orangepeelneil]

Yes, nothing else I can really add, incredible bass player and it seems like an even better person. terrible loss 😞

 

I've been obsessing about his gear and sound for 30+ yrs , from the early Roses with his 4005 and a Mesa 400+  rig through the Scream days until the reunion gear , I hope someone does a full feature on this, he had such great taste and tone.

 

I recently found this photo recently from 1987  which was a probably a pre 4005 paint splattered bass, any ideas what it might be ? Aria ?  I think he also used a Laney Combo  which you can see in the background.

I think it's either an Aria Cardinal or Thor Sound.

Another Primal Scream fave of mine is their cover of 96 Tears, I had it as the B side of Kowalski (still have it). It was their first single with him on board.

Nothing too complicated but it's another fine example of Mani's good-time feel.

They were obviously having a blast when he joined!
