Vader on bass

He is the luke warm water to Han's fire, and Luke's ice. Looks like he plays one of those Steinbrenger (sp) basses too.

I remember looking at this picture many years ago, and it has not been until now that i realised that he was playing a bass.
Cheers for pointing it out

Of course Vader would play the bass. It's so... perfect. He's probably got the biggest backline, too.

I did a double take at this thread title. My band has a song called "Vader" (yes, it is about the dark lord himself).

Of course this was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. He must have moved onto much more sinister gear by now...
