I'm so bummed that I missed this on TV. Just watched a bit of it on the PBS site. They sound so much better than they did on SNL last week!

Youtube them - there are some awesome live clips of TCV on youtube.
He is smokin' - and Dave Grohl - killer friggin' drummer!

What's the Rick like bass he's playing in the beginning? Looks like Yamaha written on the stock.

That'd be a Yamaha SA-70 bass... I owned one that was a gorgeous transparent jade-green awhile back! Great hollow-body tone!

He talks about having several slide basses made by Manson a few years back in Bass Player magazine. If you haven't heard Zooma, you should check it out Smile of Your Shadow. There are several other tunes he plays it on as well.
