Checked it out and couldn't find any info. I'm pretty sure the pic is from the current Stooges tour.

Anybody else got any ideas?

That pic is ultra-tiny. Please post a pic that can actually be seen.

Yeah, sorry. My web skills suck. It's basically an SG/EB-0 bass with a single split/p style pickup.

I bet it sounds punchy as hell. Too bad I'll out of town when the Stooges come through, I'd ask Watt about it.

I heard something about the Stooges' equipment getting stolen on tour, including Mike's old heavily-modded EB-0. (Or was it a EB-3??).

 

[Reynoldbot]

I thought that was eventually returned to him.

Ah they put it on the website.

That's Watt's new custom bass, I think he just started using it on the US leg of this years Stooges tour.

From Watt's Hootpage:

2010 michael "anchor bass"
james williamson had brian michael custom
make this bass for me based on an early 60s
gibson eb-0 but w/maple neck-through
design w/ash "wings" attached, hipshot
bridge + tuners plus custom jason lollar
p-bass-style pickup
