A '59 Precision Bass is mentioned on Greg's official site. They write "This bass has been used by Greg on some recent charity appearances and other shows. It is an all original pre-CBS 1959 Fender Precision bass, with a sunburst finish."

In this interview, Greg Lake states that he uses a '62 Fender Jazz Bass.

Lake's official site states that he uses a Tune bass. It says, "This bass has been used by Greg since the mid 1990s, when he first took it on the 1996 ELP tour. It is custom made and features a maple body and rosewood neck. It features power active pick ups and has excellent tonal qualities that feature both a powerful bottom end, as well as a cutting bright sound."

"This bass actually belongs to my close friend, Andy Babuik, who finds all my rare guitars for me. Andy recently wrote a popular and critically acclaimed book about the history of all the instruments used by the 4 Beatles. This original Paul McCartney model Beatle bass made by the German Hofner company was used by me on the recent tour I did with Ringo Starr. I played it on the Beatles classic, ' I Wanna Be Your Man,' states Greg Lake, on his official website.

This came from his MySpace page that he apparently no longer uses.

These acoustic basses are sought after for their quality, tone, and playability at an accessible price. This happens to be the earlier model before the cutaway body configured was phased in. Beautiful maple top, back and sides along with a carefully set maple neck. The tone woods are nicely selected with bright, clear grain and remarkable bass response and resonance. Tied together with tasteful binding/inlays. Very comfortable to play with a 34" neck scale and fairly low action for buttery movement and bounce. The electronics sound wonderful with clear, punchy and even projection from the piezo transducer underneath the saddle. Includes a parametric EQ.
