http://mixonline.com/photogallery/plant_krauss/index3.html Can anyone tell what Dennis C. is using on tour bass-wise? It's not one of his vintage basses.
The DB in that first photo looks a lot like a Shen Willow but the DB in the background of the photo of Buddy Miller and Stu Bob the Magnificent is an American Standard strung with guts.
Dennis is one of my favorites. What a great sound. According to this article/interview by Dave Roe with Dennis, he plays an 1800's Tyrolean, and 1800's German Roundback, a Juzek, and old American Standards. I was speaking with Dustin Williams a year or two ago and at that time, they were also prepping a Shen for Dennis to take on the road IIRC. Knowing Dennis, they are all gut-strung. Thomas
I agree with Jake, def a Shen Willow...but the varnish cut on the heel looks non-stock...like someone reworked the neck.
