Anarchy2Howard Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I believe he used a Fender Jazz Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainsbarre Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 He also used a Fender Telecaster bass, which is the sanded-down wood grain bass you see him playing, plus a Fender V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 He also used a Fender Telecaster bass, ... Actually JPJ's was an original Precision bass: they had that body shape when they first came out, then evolved into the shape that we now think of as a P-bass. They re-issued the early design in the '70s under the name of the Telecaster bass to distinguish it from the current Precision they were making. I was just reading about that guitar on another forum - funny how the same things crop up simultaneously. Oh, & looking at the original question, what on earth is an SX? Anyone?
