"Michael League has a cache of vintage and modern basses at home, but for touring, he gets it done with his stock 1959 Fender Precision. League strings the P with Dunlop Medium Flatwound strings." - Premier Guitar

Scott acquired the bass in 2017 and used it primarily on Weezer’s co-headlining tour with Pixies. In an Instagram post, Shriner states that the bass was modded, and a Jazz Bass pickup was installed in the bridge. And as evidenced by other photos, a toggle switched was installed in the bass as well
