Humble Yamaha TRBX 304 or 504 being used by Songhoy Blues.

TRBX504. It's the only time I've seen someone on a big stage playing an instrument like what I have owned :)

Odd though, the guy left the plastic bit that tells you which control is which.

Possibly a Sire Jazz in the background with Craig David ?

Yep, spotted that too. Great sound (y)

Katy Perry's bassist on a black jazz of some sort, maple neck. Some tasty fills on California Girls :)

Ok, not basses but guitars. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (!) had 3 guitarists playing odd shaped guitars (Danelectro, Vox, etc) that had extra frets between certain notes so they could play some quarter-steps. For some songs they all switched to regular guitars with the front man on 12-string. Very odd, never seen this before, as the guitars appeared to be different makes I can only assume these were custom mods?

Edit: Yup, this sheds some light on the subject:

Ah, I've just heard them on the radio, been intrigued by the microtonal weirdness and looked them up. At first I thought they might be using an electric Saz or something like that.

One of the sisters of First Aid Kit was using a couple of Hofners and a Fender Mustang (not at the same time I might add). And a nice sounding set up through a Fender rig

Yes, very tasty. And the basses weren't too bad either.
