Star on a reasonably priced bass guitar

Inspired by the recent thread about Victor Wooten 'losing' his bass before a gig and borrowing a fans instead, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133637"]Here[/url], I got to thinking ...

- If you were in the situation where an artist you admire, borrowed and played [i]your[/i] bass, at a gig where you had prime, front row seats ...

Who would it be? What tune would they play? Which bass would you lend them? Anything goes, it could be Jaco playing the 'Benny Hill Theme' on a Sue Ryder if you wish.

Mine -

Player: Jean-Jacques Burnel

Tune: Peaches (simply genius, and because it's the reason i first bought a bass and the first riff I learnt)

Bass: G&L L1000 (because I 'ain't got a Precision) :)

Nobody touches my bass. It is my bass. There are many like it, but THIS ONE is MINE. :)

I'm not that fussed really, as long as I got it back then I'd be happy.

Back to the OP, I'd like LEs Claypool to have a stab at 'Tommy the Cat' on my bass, as I'm not sure my bass knows this tune, and if anyone could coax it out, then Les can.

Just out of interest...Larry Graham didn't play on 'If you want me to stay'. It was Rustee Allen.
