i saw the 'yes album tour' in 1971. no changes there. maybe later on when he had more money.

I er... have been known to swap instruments once or twice a night...

[Pilgrim]

I normally bring my '64 EB-0 as a backup, but I switch to it for Sunshine of Your Love and Jack the Ripper.  You can't hardly play that Cream tune without a mudbucker.

I have been playing the Longhorn tuned EADG, and a Precision tuned BEAD when I need low notes...works ok for me.

no offense but you are local guys. i'm talking about well known/famous bands. after i posted the op i tried hard to come up with a bass changer i saw but no luck. i have seen some guitarists play through songs with broken strings and broken strap in one case. that would be rory gallagher and robin trower.

going back and forth between a double bass and an electric bass doesn't count.

Even John Deacon changed to Stingray for "Another One Bites The Dust". Tom Petersson swaps every now and then and not just between a 12-string and a 4.

Tom Hamilton changes quite a bit in concerts, I think he just likes variety and is not a 'one bass, one brand"-guy at all. When I saw Chris Squire on the Fly From Here Tour, he changed between his trusted Ric, his newer signature model and that 5-er with the weirdly organic shape. And you heard the differences too.

Geddy Lee changes a lot nowadays too. There is nothing wrong with that if it affects your sound or if you need a different scale for a particular song. Jack Bruce changed between his Warwick Thumb long scale fretless and the EB shortie during the Cream reunion gigs. That other Warwick in a long scale EB look never got played around that time (it might at the Madison Square Garden gigs) because he wasn't yet satisfied with the sound - her left it in the stand on stage.

Roger Glover changes sometimes his Vigiers and occasionally digs out his old Ric for an encore or Smoke on the Water.
