I had no idea he was a lefty. Nothing crazy here, but a couple of clips showing his gear collection from Gear Masters on Digital Tour Bus:
(not crazy insightful, but drool-worthy Warwicks, so that's cool)

and one showing him rocking out with a Buzzard, sitting down!! (the combination of the shear size of the beast, combined with it looking like it's trying to eat his leg, is worthy :mrgreen:)

That's awesome! He's like the lost member of Spinal Tap! He's seems like a really nice guy. I initially joined instagram mainly to check out his basses.

I thought the most notable thing I saw was that he has high gloss finish on his Wenge necks. I've never seen that before on a Warwick Wenge neck. That and I didn't know Warwick would still put a Schaller bridge on a new model.

Thanks for posting!

Watched both videos... those basses ARE Beautiful! Although I don't use pedals, I enjoyed listening to him describe his.... Also watched the music video; never really listened to UH before, but that was a rockin' song! I noticed that at times he used his ring finger for playing Octaves... I've fooled around with the in the past, but I think it's time to incorporate that into my fingering... anyone else do that, or something similar?

You’re right- I should have got that before- it’s as if he’s Derek Smalls long lost brother :mrgreen: come to think of it, I’ve not seen such a gloss finish on Wenge before either. Very intriguing!
