Famous basses picture tread

[Rano Bass]

I would like to see pics of famous basses, preferently up close to get to know them better

So if you have pictures of famous basses this is the time to post'em.

I'll start with Pino Paladino's old Stingray used on various hits from the 80's with Paul Young, Gino Vanelli, Don Henley, etc.

Let's not forget Gary Newman, Chris DeBurgh, John Mayer and a host of others.
Got to see him in the front row with The Who last year.

Oh my God!
That's so sad (Jaco's bass)

I read that his tech put it back together but it was never the same...

ive seen the video on youtube when he throws it up into the air onstage.

when it was put back together by his tech, it was painted purple and wa modded many other ways

Doug Wimbish plays the coolest looking basses...

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

John Paul Jones' Alembic Omega bass, built by Rick Turner:

ive seen the video on youtube when he throws it up into the air onstage.

when it was put back together by his tech, it was painted purple and wa modded many other ways

the labels say that these photos were taken in 87', though i think these were taken in 86',
while in the possession of his Luthier Kevin Kaufman,
shortly before the overhaul.

jaco had painted it purple, and destroyed it, then sent it to the tech,
the tech then completely re-did everything, even re-painting the bass its origional burst, and adding a badass II

as seen here in 86'

Marcus Miller is really exited with his 77 jazz

 

[crkempton]
