Have a blast! #GibsonRipper I wasn't familiar with Freebo, but after a quick search, was very impressed that he's one of those studio musicians that everyone works with, because he's that good! Also touring with Bonnie Raitt is a great thing as well. 1 Quote

The only "vintage" bass I would buy would be a 1963 Fender Jazz in Lake Placid Blue. Otherwise, I would go with more exotic basses like a Gus Bass, carbon fibre construction.

He's got a 1971 Fender Jazz that he bought new in 1971 and has had ever since. It's more of a blonde/natural finish, but I love the 50 years of natural wear and it sounds delightful. 2 Quote

I have Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass, where he showcases the 350 basses in his collection. His favorite basses are the ones who have the finish worn down on the body, and the frets slightly worn, because those types of basses have been used in bars and other gigs, and each one of those basses has a story unique to that instrument. I only have 2 basses, and my 5 string has a very special story to it. It was originally owned by a good friend of mine. Knew Steve for about 17 years before he passed away of a heart attack at 50. Steve's sister gave all of his basses to the top local bassist in Buffalo, Jim Wynne who was best friends with Steve. Jim is also my bass instructor. So one day Jim asked me if I ever considered playing a 5 string. I said I would definitely consider it, and in next weeks lesson Jim had Steve's 5 string all ready for me to take home. Jim has Steve's Rickenbacker 4001, but to this day Jim's Rickenbacker and my 5 string are still considered to be "Steve's bass". 1 1 Quote
