Just found this on YouTube, thought it'd be of interest to the Lynott fans 'round here. Not only is it Phil playing with Wild Horses (rare enough), but he's also playing a bass I've never seen him with before (blonde P-style - Yamaha I think, maybe Ibanez?) and getting the best bass sound I've ever heard on a TV broadcast ...
All in it's cheerfully shambolic (that's Robbo for you!), but I thought kind of cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVCQ4...c-HM-fresh+div |

Thanks for the video, very nice. Phil married the daughter Leslie Crowther (for those in the US a conservative game show host) who had described Phil, despite his opposite life style, as the nicest man he'd met and was proud of his daughter's husband. Top geezer! |

Yamaha BB is right, but indeed he used a wine red Ibanez P-bass (don't know the Ibanez name....) in the Chinatown and Renegade tour. 
BTW. Anyone know what was his bass on Thunder and Lightning, as in:

I also think it had no pickguard stock.
