Totally offtopic: I was born on the 11/11/1972. Very strange to see the date in the forum.

The famous "Tractor Bass" that Berry and his roadie put together.

Forgive me....
I usually try to show up when anybody mentions "Dark Star" in an interesting context.
Berry's bass is sporting a Hagstrom Bi-Sonic (single coil) pickup on his now famous Tractor bass. Dark Stars are recreations of that pickup.

He (no doubt) stold it off his '60s Guild Starfire.

RIP this man, and long live the Allman Brothers Band, one of the greatest bands in rock history.
