For those who don't know or havn't seen the documentry Anvil! The Story of Anvil, Glenn "G5" Five is the bassist for a Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. (BTW the documentry is great) I want to know what bass he uses. It was the red 5 string with the 2 humbuckers and a P-bass body. If anyone knows what it is let me know. I'm thinking its a Fender but I'm not sure.

On a recent The Heavy Metal Show, he used a five string Firbird.

I can't answer your question, but I had the pleasure of opening for ANVIL in 1982 at our high school. What a treat for a wide-eyed 18 year-old!! Great guys...Lips was fantastic!! They treated us very well, and even partied with us after. Ian and Dave are gone now, but the band is still kickin'!! I've heard the documentary is amazing...I gotta check it out. Thanks for taking me down memory lane...
