Can anyone shed any further light? The pic is too dark to make out any details other than the logo. I'd be interested to know what songs this bass was used on.

That's the first time I've seen Dusty play anything but a Tele style bass. How in the world did you find it?

Probably something shaped like a Lightning or something, or even a Tele style Alembic...? This is making me very curious!! olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2159 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 05, 2009 - 6:58 am:    I do remember Dusty playing a Thunderbird style bass too. An of course the "furry monster" bass. LOL I would imagine you're probably correct though Greg. Maybe Mica can shed a little light on this photo.

It'd be great to see more pictures of this bass if they can be found.

The days when photography was expensive, it seems so long ago!
