Chris White, renowned for his work with The Zombies, transitioned from his Gibson EB-3 to a Fender Precision Bass during the recording of "Odessey & Oracle." Visual evidence from Abbey Road Studios showcases this Fender bass, distinctively decorated with the phrases "THIS IS A PIANO" and "THIS WAY UP" by the artist who crafted the album's iconic misspelled title cover. This bass was later lent to Argent's bassist, Jim Rodford, who is also associated with The Zombies. Rodford has been documented using this bass in performances with Argent. In a nod to his musical legacy, Chris White, marking the 50th anniversary tour of "Odessey & Oracle" with The Zombies, now performs with a white Yamaha BB2004 bass guitar. This instrument inherits the unique markings "THIS IS A PIANO" and "THIS WAY UP," alongside White's signature tiger tail accessory, evidencing a blend of tradition and personal flair in his choice of gear.
