Bassman Sam Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't know what the bass is but it's great to see Jethro anytime. Ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hmm...I remember a similar thread on here a while back about Peggy's basses with Tull - can't seem to remember the name of the brand but maybe worth a search? Great tone and player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Looks like he's using an Ibanez of some sort in that clip. Peggy has used loads of different basses over the years - Fenders, Riverhead, custom headless models made by Mike Vanden & lots of others. last time I saw Fairport he was using an Ibanez but he does use Crafter basses now apparently. A superb player, one of the best IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 There was an ebay link on here a while back in which he sold a re-finned 62 Fender P (with added J) - went for £7,000. Was his standard bass in the 70s IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 There's a bass on the Crafter site that looks a bit like it, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Crafter cruiser looks similar but to me it looks like an Ibanez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el borracho Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 In jethro tull days he always seemed to use a 5 string ibanez soundgear through randall amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozmyk Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've got one of Dave Pegg's old Ibanezes. It is one of two, slightly different models, that he used on tour in the US with the Tull. Part way through the tour Mr Anderson added a song to the tour set that required a fretless so Dave got Ibanez to quickly de-fret one of them, that's the one I now have. Mine is an SR05 and is a Dark Midnight Blue Flake with unusual "stalk" type bridge saddles, whereas the one in the video is a lighter Metallic Blue and has a conventional style bridge (Gotoh?) possibly an SR885.

Raymondo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Cue my favourite story regarding the esteemed Mr Pegg...... In the distant past I read an interview with him in (I think) Bass guitar magazine, where he said that he was now sponsored by.............

He was trading a Strat for a mic, in a music shop, and there was cash left in the trade so he took the flute. Decades later his daughter was learning flute with a teacher and pointed out the fingering Ian was using was all wrong, so he re learned the technique. Didnt stop him coming up with all that great music in the 60s 70s 80s though. The legend is that the Strat originally belonged to Lemmy.
