Greg Hawkes' Bass Guitars
-m.webp?v=1783177024)
During The Cars' 2011 tour for the album "Move Like This," Greg Hawkes played a Fender Mustang Bass on several songs, including "Touch and Go" and "I'm In Touch With Your World." While it's often thought that he used a valuable white Fender Active Precision Bass owned by the late Benjamin Orr, that bass was only used in the studio. Greg likely chose the Mustang for the tour to avoid the risk of damage or theft to Orr's bass. This is evident in a live performance video from May 12, 2011, at the Hollywood Palladium, available on YouTube. Interestingly, I attended the tour's opening show on March 10, 2011, in Seattle, and I own a similar Vintage White CIJ/MIJ Mustang Bass, which was released around 2003 after Orr's passing.
