Jay has a backup p bass in his live rig. He states that it is a combination of a Fender and a Schecter. The body is Fender fender American Vintage 63 p bass, but with a Schecter neck. The Schecter neck came from a bass he bought online from a seller in Texas. He put the Schecter neck on the bass because he liked the body but the neck on the 60s American vIntage series where too wide for his liking. He also added a badass bridge on the bass. Jay is unsure wether it is a true Badass bridge because he bought it online

This is a Parts caster bass Karl has used since the late 90s, according to Karl it belonged to a friend of his and she gave him the bass, it originally was a parts bass with a fender neck, and in Olympic White with a Black pickguard. Around The Reunion and specifically the FunFunFun fest the same bass can be seen with a new white Pickguard, Seymour Duncan SPB3 pickups, and some Les Paul style gold knobs and he played this bass off and on up and changed the neck to a squire jaguar neck sometime in between until in 2021 when he brought out the bass in a new Charcoal Frost finish to mimic stephens guitar with a new black Pickguard. This bass was also used for the recording of Cool To Be You, Merican, and Hypercaffium Spazzinate and Problematic
