Recent clip of my 5-string Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature Squared doing some little bass fills: Bass was recorded direct - JHS Punchline compressor & amp sim, green Dunlop pick, (older) Alembic strings, with some added compression & eq in Reaper.

Another excerpt featuring some little bass fills from my 5-string Alembic Stanley Clarke Signature Squared:

Bulbous, also tapered... (Sorry, Captain Beefheart reference) Also, the OP's pic doesn't look like the one that @monsterthompson posted - I would be wary...
