According to an old Guitar Player interview I read; Wyman used, almost exclusively a solidbody bass that he bought for 6 Pounds, plucked the frets out of it, band-sawed it to a shape he liked and then laquered it up. He used that bass on almost every album until Some Girls where he used the Travis Bean.

Here & there, you'll see pictures of it. Usually because it really doesn't have much asthetic appeal. It's a smallish-SG-looking axe with a roundish headstock.

Very, very short scale.
Here's probably one of the better pictures of it from the Exile on Main Street sessions:



Nice lookin' old tube rig he's recording with there too.

Here's a picture from '64 or so of the same bass.
