Totally offtopic: I was born on the 11/11/1972. Very strange to see the date in the forum.

The famous "Tractor Bass" that Berry and his roadie put together.

Forgive me....
I usually try to show up when anybody mentions "Dark Star" in an interesting context.
Berry's bass is sporting a Hagstrom Bi-Sonic (single coil) pickup on his now famous Tractor bass. Dark Stars are recreations of that pickup.

He (no doubt) stold it off his '60s Guild Starfire.
