Bass Guitars used by Glenn Hughes on Come Taste the Band

Electric Basses

Rickenbacker 4001

Avg price: $2,300.00

Glenn Hughes used this late 1973 (evidenced by the photo being taken in early 1974, but the bass not having the 'toaster' pickup that came on most 1973 basses) Ricky 4001, at Ritchie Blackmore's urging, to record the Burn album and the first few dates of the tour. He then gave it to Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath who used it for a few dates, and now keeps it safe at his home. Glenn has since said he regrets giving it to the Sabbath bassist.

Electric Basses

Fender Precision Bass

Avg price: $1,285.37

After giving the Rickenbacker that he used on the Burn album and first few dates of the tour to Geezer Butler, he went and got this natural P bass that he would use for several years.
