Tom Peterson's mystery 4-string

(1/3) > >>

Pekka:
This 4-string simple looking bass has bugged me for years. It seems he used it circa 1979:




It also looks a bit wrong being a sort of modern looking bass with a pointy headstock and neck-through construction, at least when compared to other more vintage and "cool" looking 4-string basses he used on stage at the time (T-Birds, '55 P-Bass, Fender Bass V).

gearHed289:
I would guess it's something he picked up in Japan. Aria? The bridge looks familiar.

Nocturnal:
It could be a version of something like this Aria:

cheyenne:
Looks like a vintage Westone Thunder bass.

Pekka:
Thanks for the answers, Aria or Westone or something out of Matsumoko could be the right answer.  He also occasionally used a Greco EB-8 eight string bass at that time.
