Did he play an EB-3? I knew that early in his career Stanley Clarke played an EB- 2 (the thinline semi-hollow double-cutaway ES335-shaped Gibson bass) but I'd never even heard that he wielded an EB-3. |

Jeez, is he ever good. I never really paid attention to him before, but that was nice.

I.e., they courted him with their gifts, he didn't "have them make" him a bass.
...Unless I'm misremembering all this stuff? |

He sure gives the Rick a different voice. |

He still sounds like Mr. Clarke to me(anyone that good deserves to be called MR.), no matter what he plays.
