Yes Sir!
Leon played Rics and Gen 1 or 2 Pbasses early on, Thunderbirds (Reverse and Non), Fenderbird given to him from John E., '62 Jbasses. Basically in that order time wise with overlap. Later played some Pedullas. Miles can correct anything I missed. I think I have only seen one pic with an split coil Pbass, and I may be imagining that.

I'm not as up on his later instruments. I saw him use a reverse and an NR, for sure. Unsure about the neck.
