neptunehealer Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can anyone identify the bass that Alex James is playing in this video? Just i think it looks pretty cool.

garbev Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Looks like a "Les Paul Recording" bass from the 70's. Quite ahead of it's time with low impedance P/Ups and interesting EQ switchgear. Gary. Quote

neptunehealer Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Cheers Gary, you are awarded with a gold star for that. Where would people like me be without people like you. It's a pretty cool looking bass though. Quote

Also how do you make a link to a website with just one word describing the link if that makes sense, instead of copying and pasting the entire link? Quote

Jono Bolton Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) It's a Triumph. I remember looking at one few years ago just before Alex James started using it. Looks cool but they don't sound too good. Edited February 19, 2008 by jono b Quote
