PianoRocker Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Big ask but could someone tell me the equipment Coldplay use in their Viva La Vida Tour? Greatly appreciated for anyone who helps me. :) What I know for sure: - Yamaha GT20 Piano(Chris) - A few Fender Telecaster Thinlines(Jonny) - Drumset+percussion(Will) - 2 Fender Precision basses(Guy) - Martin guitars(Chris) - 1 Fender Jaguar bass(Olympic White)(Guy) - 3 midi-sampler keyboards(the blue ones, one is in original color)(All) And ofcourse their In-ears, backtrack sampler and effect pedals. I know more, but not on this late moment of the day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson Mandolin (probably a F series from the look of it) Will: Yamaha Drum Kit Gibson J-200 Acoustic Dobro Resonator Guitar Chris and Jonny are still bothe using Fender Hotrod Deville 2x12 combos. Guy is still using his same HiWatt Rig from the Twisted Logic Era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Jonny has added a lot of rack units to his system. The main addition the pedal he uses on Lovers and LiT ii. As well as some new distortion that has replaced his old ProCo. I imagine for the board they use high end compressors, EQ. Jon and Chris both have a MIDI Sampler keyboard.Same Yamaha Model I believe search this sub forum for the model number. Im not 100% sure the MIDI unit they use for it. It is a rack unit though, there is no way they would use computers. I also believe Will may have a hidden MPC somewhere on stage. Im not sure the mics they use.

princesanji Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 are you sure about the jazzmaster? personally, i couldn't tell whether (how the hell do i spell that?!) it is a jazzmaster or jaguar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Its a Jazzmaster. He has stopped using it, except in LIJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 no? when they're on B_Stage (is that b?) playing GPASUYF/Talk, he got the jazzmaster.... i guess he just needs the Tremolo (yeeees, which is actually a vibrato, we know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Does he still use it for GPASUYF/Talk? I honestly dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 it has to be a jazzmaster or jaguar... the others don't have trems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 "Does he still use it for GPASUYF/Talk? I honestly dont know." Yes. However the guitar he's using now may be a Jazzmaster copy as opposed to an official Fender made Jazzmaster. There are reports the guitar was built by Hugh Manson (who builds guitars for Matt Bellamy, among others.), But I've never read that in an "official" source, so who knows...:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayBirdsFly Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I know for sure that Will uses Pro-Mark Millennium II American Hickory 5B Drumsticks! (w/ white stick wrap) (Thanks to a sweet roadie who gave them to me) :D :drummer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 So I was right infront of Jonny last night, I counted 7 Telecasters, and he does a lot of the tuning himself. A roadie handed him a guitar and he went right to tuning it up which I found weird. None the less 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crestingwaves Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is Chris' piano on the B-stage the same as the one on the A-stage? Do they move it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo-215 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 No, i think the A Stage is the Digital Yamaha? for it to turn organ for fix you etc.. and the B-Stage is I assume is his old propper piano for the best sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 they both are acoustic i guess. however, the b-stage piano is painted (dots, as on jonny's les paul and the ave with the dove as on chris' guitar(on of them), the errm... keys(? i'm not english speaking actully, haha^^) , however, the colors are inverted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
