My favorite character was Fish.

My favorite search engine is Google.

But that's a pretty recent photo of Roy. There are some FZ/Mothers videos on YouTube from a 1968 BBC performance where he's playing a cheezy hollow-body bass, probably far more likely that's what he used on Absolutely Free

Wow Hoover, that would be a helluva introduction to Zappa if you'd never heard him before! Here is something a little more mainstream, and what is that crazy bridge on Patrick O'Hearn's P bass -- a mute perhaps?

I always get lost in those Zappa links. Such a big bunch of greatness, no matter the era or band he's with, they're all top notch. That last one with Adrian Belew was most awesome.
