Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

In this interview, Adrian said (14:35) that he's getting a new Lado guitar made and it's a real beauty (''it's a real metal machine''). Looking forward to it, especially the color (maybe blue like 1988?). I assume for the Maiden tour. He said he rediscovered them.

His favorite guitars: Les Paul Goldtop (he don't bring it on the road anymore), his Jacksons (the new 50th anniv one too).

I guess Joe came out of retirement just for him then!
 
I’ve always wanted a Lado but I’m left handed, and my economical resources are not enough either, but knowing that Joe is retired, is it possible to get a lefty Earth on second-hand market or so?

It's almost a hundred quid more the a standard wah (which google is telling me is about £144 at the moment.

I hope there's something interesting about the electronics and not just some nice art on it.

It's a normal GCB-95 in custom housing. Was confirmed at NAMM. Apparently "what they play and what they wanted". I assume "they" is likely Adrian, who plays a normal GCB-95 in his smaller rigs like with Smith-Kotzen.

Hard pass for me then, I've already got a 535Q which is about as "modular" of a wah you can get without getting a rack wah anyway.
 
Just randomly found this. One of Wailing Banshee's guitarists uses the Dave Murray Signature Strat 1st Series.


They say in the comments that Iron Maiden are a big influence for them—although the main riff sounds more Running Wild-ish to me. The camera movements are reminding of the official videos for TNOTB and RTTH, too.
 

Kinda a pointless rig rundown, since he'll be using a different set of guitars in Europe (those are his LA guitars). What is kinda interesting is that the LP is tuned to drop-C and he says it is for the song "Running", which kinda makes sense as he was using the backup green sunburst Jackson for that during the last SK runs.

Also, the ebony Jackson seems to be one of the prototypes/colour samples as it is noticeably yellower than the maple/black one.

So he doesn’t use the green Custom anymore?
 
I have a question for Matic, and anyone else who might know!

I’d like to revisit the Seymour Duncan pickups Dave has used. I read in this thread that, in the ’90s, he supposedly had an SD ’59 in the neck position. More recently, I also read that his white Strat (the one Colin gave him — the “1956 white one”) was converted to an HSH setup, with a Jazz in the neck.

Does anyone have reliable sources for any of this?

Same question regarding something I read on the Seymour Duncan forum: apparently he had a custom Alternative 8 in the neck, but I couldn’t find any solid source to back that up.

So far, the only confirmed info I’ve found comes from Colin himself: his custom Strat (70s-style headstock) with two custom JB pickups, and ’59s in the neck position on his Les Paul...

Thanks guys!
