Not sure about the one pictured, but he's been using Hugh Manson basses almost exlusively for the past decade or so.

This is a shot of them doing "In My Time of Dying". The only song JPJ played the fretless P on.

Jimmy Page is looking very Asian in that picture. Also very old.

JPJ has played a number of different basses. In some of his most famous works he used a Fender jazz.

Looks like he might be using SWR heads and cabs. True?

You didn't know that he had extensive plastic surgery to make him look much older and also to appear more asian in appearance?

I think Page looks great, he IS older!!! So are we all.

I dig that he is not dying his hair, just going silver. So much more dignified.
