Suicidal Tendencies - Robest Trujillo - What bass is he playing?!

[Stance]

I´ve always been a huge fan of Suicidal (and Trujillo), but I was never been able to find which bass is he playing! Strange (at least to me), and also has a tremolo..

Thanks for your help!

I haven't got a Scooby but whatever it is it looks like a Frankenbass, Always thought he used Modulus during his ST tenure.

With st I saw him using tobias basses among others.
What does it list on the gear blurb on lights, camera, revolution?

If I get a chance, I'll have a look later

Without watching the vid, all I can say is that he's used (among others) Tobias and Fernandes (mainly the gravity) Fairly sure he used a Ray 5 when I saw ST at Clash of the Titans back in ' 90...

Paused the clip at 5.02 and it has quite a distinctive headstock - I used to think it was a Tobias as it seemed to have the missing jigsaw piece design headstock but I'm not sure what it is now.

Haven't seen that video in a long time - love old school ST

[Stance]

I know about his love for Tobias, Fernandes and Stingray V, but on this specific video it doesn´t look like any of these basses... Custom made probably?

Probably bought it with the money he received from Sharon Osbourne in exchange for his artistic integrity following his shamefull agreement to re record Bob Daisley's bass parts on the sham re release of Blizzard of Ozz/ Diary of a Madman.

That was pretty shameful, (not to mention it sounded awful compared to the original) but I blame Sharon for that rather than Rob and the others as to them it was a pay-cheque to a working musician.

This video shoot was about done about six years before he joined Ozzy's band.

When I saw the control layout at 2:44, it struck me this must be a slaughtered Ibanez MC924!

I did some digging and found some stuff about Ibanez's fitted with whammy bars

Spot on!

[Billy Apple]

Close, but the headstock in the vid is different, as is the lower horn.

Erm, well yes, if it's been butchered.

That's not it, it's only got one string!

Great band! Saw them live a number of times in my youth on various UK tours.
This track brings back a bunch of very happy memories. Cheers Stance!

PS: no idea about the bass, soz.

I only saw them once...

The early 90´s was when bands start touring our little country-until then we were put aside most of the time (bands would go to Spain, and then turn back around lololol).

But I saw them in 93 (with Metallica) I think the bill was Suicidal Tendencies, The Cult and Metallica.

Great times!!!!
