In this live performance of "40" in red rocks, he plays and Ibanez musician bass. It was probably borrowed from Adam Clayton.

Around my senior year, I bought an Ibanez Musician EQ bass. I had always wanted a Rickenbacker before, but then I decided the Rickenbacker was no longer the cool bass to have. I hung around Leo's [music store] in Oakland all the time; they had tons of new and used stuff. One day, I saw a Carl Thompson piccolo bass sitting there. I had stared at the photo in I Want to Play for Ya where Stanley had all his basses lined up, and a couple of them were Carl Thompsons. I always thought, "Man, that sure is an ugly bass". I picked up the one in the store, though, and I couldn't believe it--it was so easy to play. Suddenly there were a lot of things I could play that I couldn't play on my Ibanez. I used to test basses by trying to play "Roundabout," and it was pretty easy on the Carl Thompson. I went home, and I begged and pleaded my mom for the rest of the money I needed to buy that bass. She lent me some, and I went back and bought it. It's still my main 4-string.

During his early years with Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious grooves, Rob played a hacked up, blue Ibanez musician bass. It was stolen shortly after being modified, and he made the switch to Tobias after the incident

Sting was a user of an Ibanez fretless bass, beginning in mid-1979. He used it widely on tour and in the studio.

He was also known to have a few other Ibanez 4-string basses, including one with a natural finish and another with a pearl white finish.

Clayton can be seen in this photo playing an Ibanez Musician Bass.
