Stanley Clarke with G-3

Jules site shows a picture of Stanley Clarke holding a G-3.
http://www.flyguitars.com/gibson/bass/G3_players.php
Does anyone know on which recorded songs or albums he actually played the G-3? or was he holding it just for the picture?

To me this looks like a cut and paste job! I'm not saying that Stanley wasn't involved with the G-3 (its snap and treble bite must have certainly appealed to him), but this pic looks "constructed" as if they hadn't had a pic of him playing or holding a G-3 at the time.

I think the hands look weird and Stanley is more in focus than the bass is. Also, the lower side of the bass looks cut off, the scratchplate of a G-3 is not that close to the edge of the bass. But I'm not a specialist with these things. Doesn't George manipulate pics like that for a living?

Whether or not he was actually holding a G-3, that image has been doctored.

Stanley's afro was also much bigger on those those. So it must be manipulated
I think the picture is just cut off at the edges or so.
So which songs was did he play with it? if any.
Did he actualy play on in public? What is the Gibson/Clarke story?

Seems like I remember him plaing an EB3 on earlier Chick Corea records
