How did you come upon this? WOW!

 

[icantaffordawal]

Lesh's Godfather:

HA HA! Wow... just... wow. Who ever made that bass probably hated people. I'd be amazed if someone could label every knob.

 

[icantaffordawal]

I just copied it...

 

[CBRStingray]

And the Iroquai bass (my favorite)

You win. I love that bass!

 

[Lord Black]

Being a huge fan of 90's skate punk, Mike Herrera's Stingray always stands out in my mind.

[Agito]

Y'all forgot one very important bass

 

[ClassicJazz]

Don't know if this would be considered famous, but in this SWR from the early 90's:

There is a Sadowsky in the photo (a little closer)

Which I now own!

These ads were in Guitar Player, so many have seen it!

 

[hankazoid]

Darryl Jenifer's green Modulus popped up on this forum a while back. He used this for most of his career with Bad Brains.

Also, Jack Bruce's EB-3...

Chris Squire's Mouradian...

 

[Kenner]

Yeah, but when he started to use the Hofner again in the 80s it had the set list from the last Beatles concert taped on it. But I have noticed that the Hofner he used on the rooftop concert for example, seemed to not has that list. Maybe he had a couple of similar Hofners?

so, it would reason, possibly, that the first one wasn't stolen. Wasn't their last concert in 1966?

 

[odysseios]

At the Rooftop Concert the list was still in place (note the black nylon tapewound strings):

 

[CBRStingray]

I wouldn't really consider most of these basses "famous".

 

[GregC]

Klaus Flouride's Jazz bass

I love that bass. I've never heard a J bass I've liked as much.

I really never get tired of looking at Mike Watt's basses....

Me either! Though I wish he still had the white PJ that was stolen.

Brian Ritchie

Another favorite.

What a great thread this has been, so far !
Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello) and his Wal Custom - what an awesone combination that was, IMHO !

Indeed it was, but I wish he'd still had his trusty fiesta red P in his possession.

Or none at all! Think of 6 pups pulling down on the strings; i don't think it sustains at all!

Heh. Only four of the pickups were actually live for that very reason.
