    It probably was that one if he couldn't recognize it. He also has a Fender P signature model.

    Yeah, it's a cool bass. Bill's also going to offer them in a 5 as well.
     
  5. I'm pretty sure from the way my friend described it it's the conklin. He said the tuners were 2+2 and the headstock was kinda pointed. He also so that the upper horn was longer than a fenders.

    ...he just doesn't look right without that Fender P-bass. ;)

    Same goes for Rainey(in those Ken Smith ads).

    I wonder how many people here have heard his solo album.

    Lots of people know him better then his music.
    For a bassist, this is not good.
     
  10. Yea a lot of people really need to get on the bus.
