This black 1970's Fender Jazz Bass, nicknamed 'Tree', was Ben's main bass right through Soundgarden's first period. He learned to play on this instrument and recorded most of Badmotorfinger and Superunknown on it. However, this piece of history was unfortunately stolen and its whereabouts are unknown.
