Roger Glover's ..... Ric???

"This is Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover's Rickenbacker 4001, which I worked on in July 1974. Roger asked me to make the bass more quiet, while adding more bottom end. When I asked him what kind of sound he wanted and he said he liked the sound of a Fender Jazz Bass. So I installed a Gibson EB-3 lead pickup in the bridge position. Then I installed two Fender Jazz Bass Pickups, one of which I installed with the reverse poles in the neck position. I wired both pickups for Hum Bucking mode. I also created a new pick guard."

Another one of Glover's - on this sample page Invalid Link Removed. That's my 64P underneath it - certainly not famous.

Mike Dirnts P basses -

I'll always associate Mike with the G-3. That's what he played on all the good records.

[Showdown]

I would think about deleting that picture if I was you. It violates the rules. It doesn't offend me, but it will likely offend others.

 

[BillySundayMD]

Anyone got a better pic of Guy Pratts Burgandy Mist '64 Jazz with EMGs?

Man, that things getting battered now, well apart from the Badass Bridge that I don't remember him having. Looks almost flawless in the Holiday in Cambodia video.

By the way does anyone know what amp Klaus uses in the first recording of "In God We Trust Inc."? The lost tapes version, his bass sounds so amazing on those recordings.

im pretty sure he said he used his ampeg head and cab his entire career

 

[colorblindbass]

I thought that Jaco threw one of his bass into a bay while on a boat. If this true, was it ever recovered?

one was in fact chucked into a bay in Japan.
i dont think it was ever recovered, no,
as far as i know.
