Instruments
In the earliest Real Life Magazine video, Adamson plays Rickenbacker JG, (though probably a 4001 or 4003 model) and on Secondhand Daylight, Gibson EB-3. However, his main bass during Magazine was Ovation Magnum 2. For the 2008 Magazine concert, he alternated between Ovation, Fender Artist and Fender Jaguar Bass. He often uses the Chorus Boss unit on his bass, giving a slightly processed sound that heavily imitated in the UK rock scene of the 1980s.
Legacy
In his autobiography, It's Very Easy (And Other Lies) , Duff McKagan of Guns N 'Roses says he is influenced by bands driven by bass like Barry Adamson in Magazine.
