      Who saw what? I saw a Fender P-Bass and a couple Ashdown 610 bass cabinets.

      I'm fixing a hole Where the rain gets in.

              We saw Paul in Brisbane 2017... finally, after waiting my whole life 🙂 Anyway, I NEED to know what Wix (Paul Wickens) was playing.  It was some sort of wind synth he was blowing into.  We only got a quick glipse of it every now and then and I don't even know what to Google to find it 🙂

              Any ideas??

                He demonstrates it in this clip,

                (starting at 1:38), and uses it in, e.g., Lady Madonna for the sax sounds.  He says in the clip that it's a TEControl Breath Controller (MIDI I assume).

                Glad you Aussies finally got your long overdue visit!

                  "As soon as the breath controller came out from Yamaha, the BC1, that was like another foot pedal for me. I used that to add brightness to things, or to try and play pretend wind instruments back in the day. I was a very early adopter of that and I’ve used it ever since. I use that in MainStage all for the sax sounds and I use it on the brass now to give it a bit of timbre to help the swells."
