During this live preformance, on the second song "The Call of Ktulu", Trujillo can be seen with this Nash Bass.

As well, in this article from ForBassPlayersOnly Trujillo responds to the question "What equipment are you using?" by mentioning this Bass.

I like Bill Nash’s basses too. Nash makes great retro-style basses. One of my favorite basses is the “Flame Thrower.” This bass was actually in a fire and, I kid you not, it practically melted in that blaze! It’s so punk! And it pretty much play’s itself. Totally thrashed! It’s one of my favorites!
