No player is 'endorsed'

 

The artist endorses the product of the company - not the other way around.

 

The question should be 'who has endorsed products of the most companies?'

[SH73]

Steve Harris gets through a few sets of strings during a tour. They sound great when they're new, but tend to go dead soon. Also ,pricey..

[Bigguy2017]

Les Paul.

 

For bass? Hard to say...

Yes. Very precise. Now answer your own question.

Good answer. But, I'm to get to the bass players who've gone all in with one brand and then pop up with a similar product with a different manufacturer. Brian Bromberg's B-Quad springs to mind...

[ezbass]

Rocco Prestia endorsed a good many products: Fender, ESP, Conklin, SWR, TC Electronics…

[visog]

So Janek Gwizdala has Fodera and Matttisson and Hadrien Feraud with Ken Smith and Mayones spring to mind....

I stand by my assertion.

[Rich]

I seem to recall Chuck Rainey's face appearing in a thousand different manufacturers' adverts at one time.  

[Rich]

Mark King: Status, Jaydee, Alembic, GB, Fender, Trace Elliot, TC Electronic, Ashdown, Rotosound, probably a whole load of others I've forgotten

I'd say that in practice it works both ways round.

The company is 'endorsing' the artist by accepting their endorsement of the product.

I mean: I favour Jim Dunlop picks..... but I doubt they would put my name to their product.
