Can someone please tell me what kind of bass Alain Johannes play (Queens of the Stone Age)??? I know it's not a Gibson eb-2 or a Epiphone Rivoli.
Here's some pic's...

looks like a yamaha logo, and the headstock looks exactly the same as billy sheehan's yamaha semi acoustic, but its not the same... so its a yamaha.

 

[BlackByrd]

Thanks!
I've never seen this model before.
Can someone tell me the name of the model?

 

[anonymous278347457]

hmm...wasent the bassist of queens of the stone age a bald guy? with a P-bass? or have they changed bassists?

He was kicked out I think. Kept getting naked on stage and doing stupid stuff so I hear.

 

[Bass_Machine]

Yeah, the bassist used to be Nick Olivieri (who coincidentally is quite talented). He was kicked out. Mostly cause Josh Homme is quite the taskmaster, but also because he was a little too wild for QOTSA's liking.

Back on topic, I have no idea what bass Alain has there, I looked on the Yamaha website for a while but didn't find it.

 

[BlackByrd]

I've looked thru the Yamaha website aswell, but I can't find it.

+1 on the Yammy.

Nick is the man, and you can still hear him through his band, Mondo Generator. It's a shame that he and Josh couldn't work it out.

looks like an old yammy or a custom shop yammy..

 

[SteveC]

It's a Yamaha, I don't rememebr the model, but they don't make it any more. You can find them used once in a while. Nice little bass.

 

[tplyons]

Dunno what it is, but I want one

 

[JimmyM]

Now that we've solved that little dilemma, what the heck kind of bass is Josh Homme playing when he plays bass? Now that is a truly weird bass!

 

[BlackByrd]

He also plays a Yamaha.
The model is called SA-70.
Enjoy the pic.

[BlackByrd]

Yeah, I'm sure!
That's the one Josh plays!

 

[astronauts_suck]

What about that Ventures looking bass I saw in the video for Little Sister?

 

[BlackByrd]

The Mosrite?
Josh don't play on that live.
He uses the Yamaha.
