YYY performed on Conan tonight. Their bass player looked a bit like Paz Lenchantin, but Paz plays/endorses Luna basses and this lady looked like she was playing a G&L.
Anyone know who the bass player was?

It sure didn't look like Paz. And the bass was a regular Fender Precision with black tape over the logo.  |

The tape over the logo is very suspicious. 
I checked the YYY website, but that was no help.
I'm going to send a message to Paz on MySpace and ask her.

| | | | Could be Sara Lee. She played for Ani Difranco when they toured as a trio in the '90s. I think she played a G&L. I'm just guessing though.

Just because she plays the instrument doesn't mean she wants to provide them free advertising on tv. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Malibu, AU | | | but seriously, it's not like she had the black tape on her face guys. So who was/ is she? |

-So jelous of the guitarist's pedal set-up
-Bassist is adorable
-drummer has a big nose
-Karen O is kinda charming now that shes way less cracked out
dunno who the bassist is, dunno what she's playing. My money is on the Squier theory.

Covering up the logo isn't going to throw people for a loop wondering what on earth that unidentified thing is you are playing. |

Like how messengers will tape up their Colnago or Bianchi logos to give it more 'street cred' or to make it less desirable to theives or even 'not to advertise for them'. Maybe we're entering a time of Fender backlash where it's cool to play, but not to advertise it.
"yeah... i mean, i love the way my Fender/Bianchi plays/handels. But you know, man... i'm no billboard for their corporate capitalist agenda, man."
Hmmm... conspiracy me thinks...

I have little Gibson experience... what would be the closest to a P tone? A Grabber?
