The one-string bass   June 8, 2010
Written by sqeele

I remember this as being a one-string bass guitar, not a Warr guitar.  It’s my strong impression that Tony picked it up at Artichoke Music where it was given to him as a gift.  Tony played it with funk fingers.  I wonder if limiting the bass to only one string makes it easier to hit the target area with the funk fingers?

We should ask Tony for his recollection of this.     - S.

It's was a one-off guitar made by Mark Warr for Trey and delivered to Trey that very day. Tony was thrilled to play around it and did so several times on and off stage. What Tony bought along for the tour was the "rubber-band" stringed Ashbory bass.
