| | | | Are there are pros that play other pros sig basses? Something you rarely see, maybe it's a pride thing. I do, however, know that Juan Alderete owned a Joe Osborne Lakland sig. Any others? |

|  | Registered User Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | The dude from Opeth plays a Marcus Miller sig Jazz. Justin Meldal-Johnsen used Geddys on the NIN tour, along with a few guitars that were almost all sig models. I see quite a few pro bassists using Epiphone Jack Casadys. And everyone who has ever owned a Les Paul uses a sig model. I don't see what the big deal is...either you like an instrument or you don't, and getting all wrapped in it being a sig model is silly. Who cares?

Adam Clayton and Juan Alderete play/own Lakland Darryl Jones models, and I think I read that Clayton is also playing a Sadowsky Will Lee on an upcoming U2 project.
