My band plays the Sheryl Crow tune "If It Makes You Happy". Always goes over well, the audience seems to really like it.

Sheryl Crow--who knew?

That's a classic old Guild M-85. I feel in love with the look of it the first time I saw her playing it. The guy with blond hair that plays guitar and bass for Paul McCartney also has one just like it. Don't see very many of them!!
I don't know that kind of detail about the model, but a quick Google search did not turn up any.
Lots of multi-instrumentalists out there. Check out Sav Buist from The Accidentals for some talented bass work when she's not playing guitar or shredding her violin!

I am not at all a Fender guy, but isn't that top one a Telecaster Bass?
No, it’s an early 50's P bass. Telecaster basses were first released in 1968. They resembled the early 50's p basses with just a few minor changes.
A friend of mine is working the stadium in Nashville tonight. He said Robert Kearns is on bass. And Audly Freed is back with them on guitar as well. The two of them have played together since the 80s back in Raleigh.
I still have the first Cry Of Love album buried in my stacks, very overlooked band in the early 90's.
Their drummer was Jason Patterson. Over the years I have gotten to do many shows with him. He's a monster drummer and an even better human.
And, yes, an overlooked band. I remember when they first came out. It was a breath if fresh air for musicians. Their music was straight-forward rock. Not grunge. Not bubblegum rock. My band at the time played several off of Brother.
My brother and I were huge fans. The night I played my first show with JP we were all riding together in a van. When we made a put stop I called my brother and was totally geeking out about riding in a van with Jason. Now that I know him that story is just hilarious because he is such a down-to-earth guy.
To tie this back in a neat little bow, Miss Crow has a stacked deck on stringed instruments. Those two guys can play.
Has it really been that long ago? Man time flies.
Yes, time keeps passing, and it needs to stop that. I'm getting old.
Worse - I'm Feeling old. While there is a portion of my brain that will always be a Kid, there is also most of my brain that is feeling quite fried from now 36 years of the work I do. With retirement nowhere on the radar.
When I started, I saw colleagues in my first job - with IBM- retire after 25 years, or 30 if they really pushed the envelope. Now, these days, many, especially me, can't even think in terms of a retirement, even after 35+ years. The best I can hope for is trading what I do for something lighter. Otherwise, my retirement is when the dirt starts getting flung on top of the box I'm in.

I use to own a Guild M85 , they are small instruments like a hofner club bass except they are solid bodies, Ms. Crow must be a petite gal judging by the way that bass looks on her frame.
