Thread Drift: Is (or was) that Yamaha archtop hollowbody bass John's playing in that video offered commercially, or is it a one-off totally custom instrument? I just looked briefly around the Yamaha website and couldn't find it.

Unless something just changed, it is a one off for Pattitucci. You could get an Ibanez Thundercat signature. I bet it will sound the same and it is a super highend bass too.
There are so many great bass players out there nowadays, but if I was on a well funded tour and needed somebody I could depend on, who could play literally anything and do it tastefully, my first call would be to John Pattitucci.
I love his funk playing on his 5 string electric Yamaha.
