Walked into the Stone Pony just in time to catch the support band's last song - and snap this pic. Custom job?

Judging by the placement of the knobs, I'd say custom. At the very least, it's modded.
-
Looks like a Fender style bridge. Is that even possible with a set neck NR?
-
I think it is, if the neck angle is zero.
-
It's also very BaCH-ish. Rob?
-
Not a BaCH as far as I can see.
Plus I think I know who owns a BaCHbird and who doesn't ;)
I've seen that colour on Epi NR Tbirds. And they featured that bridge.
But the Epi's had the P J pickup combination. And the reverse headstock.
So I don't know.
-
The bridge pickup looks like a 3-screw - or at least the cover is. The neck pickup almost looks like an Epi TBIV unit that has been plasti-chromed. I will say that from the one song I heard, this thing sounded real good - big bottom end and just the right amount of edge.

sadly, every time i see a photo like that it reminds me of spinal tap. the guys t shirt even says 'rock'. :-[

and what's with the glove?

and what's with the glove?
I'm guessing carpal tunnel syndrome. I've heard that John Wetton is now thumb-picking when he plays for the same reason.
-
yep, looks like the same wrist/hand brace my wife uses for her Carpal tunnel problems.
-
Looks more like a break or dislocation - 2 fingers strapped together... nasty, whatever...

I've got the DVD of a recent ASIA tour of Japan, and Wetton has a pick TAPED to his thumb! He did a really great job I might add. Not to get off topic, but they sounded really great doing material from everyone's respective past bands. I never could have imagined Wetton singing Roundabout (or any YES for that matter), but he pulled it off nicely.

I was wondering about that myself - I'm glad we got an answer.

The body looks like a modded epi. Cool bass at any rate.

That looks great; and HUGE, unless he's just a little guy playing it.

His Michael Jackson tribute, maybe? ;D
