A Bass I've never seen before....

[KascadeDan]

If anyone is able to dig out their Cropredy 2007 programme, take a look at page 53...

I've never seen Mr Pegg use that Bass, but I LIKE it. I've always thought it would be ideal for use on the acoustic tour.

I was wondering if anyone knew the make, or know if Peggy used it at some point for a Record or a Gig?

It is interesting isn't it!

If you look at the bridge it has a radius of about 3-4" (ie the amount of curve).  Most guitars and basses have much flatter radii - my precision is amost flat.

The one in the picture looks like an electric double bass - ie it is designed to be played with a bow - hence the curve on the neck.  But who am I to say!

[Neil Morrell]

It would make sense that it's an Upright.  That neck radius would make it almost impossible to play as a Fretless Bass.  Most guitars and basses have a fingerboard radii between 8 - 10 inches.

It does look very interesting though.

Me thinks it's one of his double basses

But a solid bodied one.  Presumably employing Peizo's.

He's a man of many talents that Mr Pegg.
