Seriously the most busy yet somehow not busy, grooviest bassist in recent memory. I love his stuff. As far as recordings, sessions, who he works with, just check out his website.

i don't think it's a fender, there's nothing on the headstock (which it doesn't show in this video)

He plays/has played an older Red Fender Deluxe V. I don't recall seeing him playing anything else. Could be a custom or a replacement neck. I sent him a message. Maybe he'll reply.

Reply from Sharay Reed

I asked if his bass was a Fender and if so was it stock. See his reply below.

Hey bro. It is stock on my videos, but I just got a new preamp put in a couple of days ago, so it has a slightly different tone now. If its better or worse, only time will tell! Thanks for checkin me out bro!

He could have at least said what the electronics were or did he?
