I tried (but failed) to find a photo of the bassist with The Bottle Rockets.  Right around the time of "Radar Gun" he was playing a funky Flying V bass with a Fender Jazz Bass neck.

That was Tom Ray. He left sometime before Brand New Year. IIRC it was a Warmoth body.

Super nice guy. We cross paths on occasion. I made him a case for his 70s T-Bird about a year ago.

I saw him on TV not so long ago, playing upright. May have been with Neko Case.

More like a cross between a Guild bass(neck, pickups) and a home made body.

Mmm... MB1 pups... ;D

Any chance he could line up just one of the strings with the poles before shipping? Just one string, any string, I'm not fussy ......
