As per the title,  recommend and discuss alternative bass choices for your favourite famous bassists based on... well, anything really!

 

(Credit for this idea due to a picture of Tony Levin playing a Dingwall)

 

I'll kick off with;

 

Someone get Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) a Musicman Bongo.

I think the tone would suit him down to the ground.

John McVie. Poor guy can hardly play and he's twanging some fancy shmancy thing which you can never hear. A P bass would do him a huge favour.

Mick Fleetwood said in an interview that his drumming was so inconsistent that the only bassist who could play with him was John McVie! So maybe John just thought "sod it, I'll buy what I want"?

I am afraid we are not the ones who can decide this thing.
