I have few basses left from my career with The Doobie Brothers. I played this bass on the road, in the studio and on Takin it to the Streets. When I brought it into the studio the producer said, “Don't ever sell that one.” So, I haven't. Fender Precision Basses have a specific sound. It has a Fender body with Fender pickups and the only thing I changed was the neck because when I first played that bass it had a fretted neck and I hated it. It was too wide. Now it has a Warmoth ebony neck. You can see where I tried to sand some of the finish so I could see what the wood was. I’m still not sure what type of wood it is. I bought that one from Guitar Showcase in San Jose in 1974 or 75. I didn't start using it until 1976, which is after we cut the Taking It to the Streets album. I used it for I think one or two tours before I went back to my different bass for every tour model. I used this bass to record my solo album, Playing to an Empty House.
