From Finland, 1974: ‪Frank Zappa - Inca Roads {Live 1974}‬‏ - YouTube
Fowler gets this gorgeous, thick, rich growly tone - listen especially during Frank's solo (starts just after 2:00). I know in '73 there's viddy of Fowler using a natural finished Jazz (Stockholm), but video from '74 (Roxy, etc.) seems to indicate he used a black P-bass (with matching headstock?). So, I'm wondering what you thinnk he's using to get this wonderful tone. P-bass w/ flats? Or is it more rig than bass?
It's almost a fretless growl, and I know Tom plays FL, but I don't know if he did w/ Frank.
Thanks for any thoughts...
