ex-name gear you've owned

I recorded in a studio where Jimmy Somerville had just finished up. So presumably used the same bog. Think that’s about as close as it gets.

KK Downing’s Medallion V and his 65 Strat. I get goosebumps every time I pick them up.

Philthy Phils drumsticks.

Apparently a fat-neck ES-335 that I had was previously owned/played by one of the Gallagher brothers for a tour or some such. No provenance though, so I never mentioned it when selling it on myself and didn't value it any higher either!

Do girlfriends count?

took the Singers from Embrace's missus out once or twice when I was about 20 and they were still a thing. Then another lass I was with for a good while used to "liaise" with cheeky yorkshire funster Alex Turner. 

Oh I was delighted (!).

I had a pedal by Emma electronics, which was also the name of my ex

is that what you were looking for?

It’s an odd surname, for sure

I had Matt Deighton's Psychedelic Tokai Strat for many years.

My Shergold Masquerader was owned by the guitarist from the Prats.

None myself but a few of you have bought gear previously owned by me. 

So keep it because in the next life that shit will be worth a few bob.

A d'Mini flying V I got from ebay USA - seller claimed he used to be a roadie for the band Bread and it once belonged to Jimmy Griffin. No proof of provenance beyond that.

I've had a few things.

I had a drum kit which I believe used to belong to the drummer from Skunk Anansie

I had a Warwick bass that used to belong to Groove Armada

I also had an EBS bass cabinet which used to belong to Foreigner

Fender Twin owned by someone in Blue Aeroplanes. Cost me £120 c.1990.

Colorsound Wah owned by Innes Sibun (he sold it to me for a fiver).

I still have them both.

I am jealous of the wah. I saw Innes play in a club many years ago and the next day I went out and bought a Crybaby so I could sound like him, just loved his use of wah.

Unfortunately it turned out not to be that simple and I didn't really sound like him, the wah went largely unused, it developed a fault over time, it got sold on here to someone who needed a shell for a project. 
But for about 12 hours in 1990 Innes Sibun's wah was my dream pedal.

My first decent guitar, an early 80s Squier Tele, was previously owned by Layna Lovich's guitarist.
